General Sir Colin Campbell, G.C.B. - from a photograph by Mayall, 1856. Creator: Unknown
General Sir Colin Campbell, G.C.B.- from a photograph by Mayall, 1856. This gallant officer left England a few days ago, on his return to the Crimea, where his brave Highlanders will joyfully welcome their beloved chief, who has so often led them to victory...By direction of her Majesty, General Sir Colin Campbell has sat to Mr. Mayall, the eminent artist of Argyll-place, Regent-street, for a photographic
portrait in the General's undress uniform; and Mr. Mayall has succeeded in producing a fine and very characteristic likeness. The portrait has a peculiar interest from the fact of the General having hitherto resisted all applications to sit to an artist. By the graciously-aocorded permission of her Majesty we are enabled to present the accompanying Engraving from Mr. Mayall's photograph'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856

EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph of General Sir Colin Campbell, G.C.B., was taken by the renowned British photographer J.J.E. Mayall in 1856. The image captures the distinguished military leader in his undress uniform, a rare occasion as Sir Colin had previously declined all requests to sit for an artist. By order of Queen Victoria, Sir Colin agreed to the photographic session, resulting in this fine and highly characteristic likeness. The portrait holds particular significance due to Sir Colin's imminent return to the Crimea, where his brave Highlanders eagerly awaited their beloved commander who had led them to numerous victories during the Crimean War. This engraving is reproduced from Mayall's photograph, granting us a glimpse into the past and paying tribute to the legendary 1st Baron Clyde, a pivotal figure in British military history.
