The studio's expertise extended beyond portraiture to encompass significant events like General Bullers' operations for relief - a breathtaking bird's-eye view capturing the vastness of this historic campaign. No collection would be complete without featuring influential political figures like The Marquis of Salisbury, KG - Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary in 1900 - or Rt. Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, MP - Secretary for the Colonies during that same period; both captured with utmost finesse by Russell & Sons. Field-Marshal Lord Roberts of Kandahar stands tall in his portrait from 1900 while Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig is depicted twice – once late 19th century-early 20th century (c1920) showcasing his military prowess then again later in life (c1920), revealing wisdom etched upon his face.
