EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the iconic figure of Frederick Sleigh Roberts, 1st Earl Roberts, as he marches confidently in a full dress uniform through the bustling streets of London during the late 1890s. Lord Roberts (1832-1914) was a renowned British soldier and one of the most successful military commanders of the 19th century. His impressive military career included victories in India, South Africa, and Sudan, earning him numerous decorations, including the Victoria Cross, the highest award for valor in the British military. The image presents a striking contrast between the grandeur of Roberts' military attire and the urban setting of London's streets. The soldier's meticulously pressed uniform, complete with gleaming medals and decorations, stands out against the backdrop of the city's architecture, which showcases the blend of historic and modern structures that define London. The photograph is part of the Boswell Collection, a valuable archive of historical images, and offers a unique glimpse into the past. It is believed to have been taken during a day trip to London, where the city's residents and visitors would have had the opportunity to witness the esteemed military figure in person. This photograph not only serves as a testament to Lord Roberts' military prowess but also provides an intriguing glimpse into London's rich history and the daily life of the city during the late 19th century.
