EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the Officers of the City of London Imperial Volunteers in 1900 during the Second Boer War. The image, taken by Gregory & Co, showcases a group of distinguished men standing on deck as they cross Westminster Bridge. Clad in their military uniforms, these brave volunteers exude strength and determination. The composition beautifully portrays the essence of travel and transport, with the ship serving as a symbol of their journey to distant lands. The railings on deck add depth to the photograph while emphasizing the vastness of the sea surrounding them. Hand-tinted details bring life to this historical snapshot, highlighting each officer's posture and hand placement.
