1898 Badge Breasted Buttons Cadet Cadets Double Peaked Sailor Sailors

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative portrait captures the youthful determination and pride of a young ships boy in the late 1890s. Dressed in his crisp, navy-blue uniform, complete with a peaked cap adorned with a gleaming badge, this cadet stands tall and confident before the camera. The double-breasted jacket, fastened with neatly arranged buttons, adds to his smart appearance. The ships boy's gaze is steady and focused, reflecting the discipline and dedication required to serve in the British Navy during this era. The intricate details of the uniform, from the folds of the fabric to the shiny buttons, are rendered with exceptional clarity, making this an exquisite representation of naval life in the late 19th century. The portrait offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an age of adventure and exploration on the high seas.
