EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a poignant moment in history as an officer of the 92nd Gordon Highlanders reads to his troops at Edinburgh Castle on April 9,1846. The image, taken by renowned photographers David Octavius Hill and Robert Adamson, showcases the rich heritage of Scotland's armed forces during the 19th century. The officer stands tall in his traditional Scottish attire, donning a bearskin hat and kilt that symbolize his affiliation with the prestigious Gordon Highlanders regiment. Surrounding him are fellow soldiers, their faces filled with anticipation as they listen intently to their leader's words. Edinburgh Castle serves as a majestic backdrop for this scene, its imposing fortifications emphasizing the strength and resilience of Britain's military presence. The castle itself is steeped in history and represents Scotland's proud heritage. Hill & Adamson expertly capture this moment using salted paper print from a paper negative technique, lending an air of authenticity to the photograph. Their skillful composition highlights not only the individuals but also conveys a sense of camaraderie among these brave men who serve their country. Preserved by The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this remarkable portrait offers viewers a glimpse into Scotland's past while honoring those who dedicated themselves to protecting their nation. It serves as both a testament to our shared history and an enduring tribute to the courage displayed by soldiers throughout time.
