This print from the Liszt Collection showcases Buttevant Capt Henry Craigie Brewster, a British figure who was active in the 1840s. The image, believed to be taken around 1843, is a salted paper print derived from a Calotype negative. Measuring at 10.5 x 17.9 cm (4 1/8 x 7 1/16 in. ), this photograph captures an intriguing moment frozen in time. The subject of this portrait, Capt Henry Craigie Brewster, exudes an air of authority and confidence as he gazes into the distance. His stern expression hints at his military background and suggests that he may have played a significant role during his active years.

The delicate details captured by this technique bring out every line on Brewster's face and every strand of hair on his head. While little is known about Buttevant Capt Henry Craigie Brewster himself or the circumstances surrounding this photograph, it serves as a testament to both his individuality and the artistry of early photography techniques.
