EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the stoic presence of Captain Arthur Layard in 1855. Standing tall and proud, he dons his military uniform with a sword at his side, symbolizing his dedication to duty and honor. This portrait was taken during the Crimean War, where Captain Layard served as part of the 38th (1st Staffordshire) Regiment of Foot. Beyond his military achievements, Captain Layard is also known as the brother of Sir Austen Henry Layard, a prominent Radical Member of Parliament. The connection between these siblings adds an intriguing layer to this historical image. The photograph showcases not only Captain Layard but also a magnificent horse by his side. The horse stands as a symbol of strength and loyalty, mirroring the qualities possessed by its rider. Through this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported back to an era when bravery on the battlefield was admired and respected. It serves as a testament to those who fought valiantly during times of conflict. Preserved within the archives of London's National Army Museum, this remarkable piece offers us a glimpse into history that continues to inspire awe today. Its timeless nature reminds us that even after centuries have passed since its capture by Roger Fenton in 1855, it still holds significance for both art enthusiasts and history buffs alike.
