EDITORS COMMENTS
This studio portrait, taken circa 1912, showcases a customs officer proudly donning his uniform. The man's stern yet composed expression exudes a sense of authority and professionalism. He wears a peaked cap adorned with a customs insignia, atop a crisp, buttoned jacket with a wing collar and waistcoat. The intricate details of the uniform are evident, from the shiny buttons to the chain and fob holding his badge. The officer's uniform is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and adherence to regulations in the customs service during this era. The black-and-white photograph, part of The Julia Sherborne Collection, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the 1910s and the important role customs officers played in maintaining the integrity of international trade and travel. This image is a valuable historical record and a testament to the dedication and pride taken in serving one's country during this time.
