This photograph print, dated 1885, showcases an intriguing collection of eight diverse types of soldiers from the Russian Army. The image, sourced from the Consolidated Archive Holdings Ltd and available through Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich tapestry of the Imperial Russian military forces during this era.

Nearby, a Drum Major, with his tall bearskin hat and baton, exudes authority and leadership. A Grenadier, identified by his tall, cylindrical hat and red sash, holds a musket, embodying the raw power and determination of the infantry. The Imperial Guard, represented by a Horse Guard, is depicted on horseback, clad in a blue tunic and wearing a fur-trimmed greatcoat, epitomizing the elite status of this esteemed unit. The Colonel, dressed in a double-breasted tunic and adorned with numerous decorations, commands respect and awe with his regal bearing. Further back, two Cossacks, the Tsherkesses, are shown wearing their traditional fur hats and armed with sabers and rifles. Their fearless demeanor and unyielding spirit are evident in their posture. Lastly, a soldier from the Persian frontier is depicted, dressed in a turban and holding a rifle, symbolizing the vast reach and multicultural diversity of the Russian military during this period.
