EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Captain St. John Frome, a remarkable figure from the late 19th century. The image captures his strong and determined face, adorned with an impressive moustache that adds to his commanding presence. As a British military officer during the Second Anglo-Afghan War, which took place between 1878 and 1880, Captain Frome played a significant role in this historical conflict. The photograph is taken from the book "British Battles on Land and Sea" by James Grant, published around the same time as the picture was captured. This engraving beautifully portrays Captain Frome's stoic gaze as he looks away into the distance, perhaps contemplating the challenges he faced during this tumultuous period of imperialism. The monochrome aesthetic enhances both the intensity of his expression and highlights details such as his uniform and physique. It serves as a powerful reminder of Britain's military prowess during this era. As we admire this portrait today, it offers us a glimpse into history - reminding us of brave individuals like Captain St. John Frome who dedicated their lives to serving their country amidst conflicts far from home. This print holds immense cultural significance, preserving an important chapter in British military history for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
