| This hand tinted carte de visite depicts a corporal who was possibly a member of a volunteer artillery unit. He sits with his arm resting on a Davenport desk with an interestingly painted backdrop of a window looking out over a seaside town. No other information is available for the soldier other than the name or nickname of "Tiggy" which is written in pencil on the photograph's reverse Carte de Visite T. Wilkinson - Photographer Royal Photographic Institution, St. Maty Street, Weymouth, England c. 1870 |
