Important Early Photograph Album of Irish & Other Military FiguresCo. Cork: Military Interest: Album (28cms x 39cms) in fine original green leather binding with blind and gold tooling. 48 pp. (several blank). The owner was R. Roberts of the 9th Regiment and the album contains a large number of photos of officers in the regiment, some single and some in groups, and also of the regimental sergeants and of officers in other regiments. They are captioned and one is dated 1864. The album also includes photos of famous paintings and sculptures, topographical views (Kilkenny, Cork, Malta, Venice, Gibraltar, Corfu, Pembroke Dock), and of men and women in costumes, including an attractive photograph of Mrs Jane D’Esterre Hill, presumably taken soon after her marriage in 1866 at age 22. There are also coloured cut-outs of French military uniforms.The 9th (East Norfolk) Regiment of Foot fought in battles of the First Afghan and Sikh Wars, 1841-1846, and there is a photo of a monument to soldiers who fell in those engagements.Many early photograph albums have no captions; this one clearly identifies the officers of a particular regiment in the 1860s and thus forms an important document of the period, in contemporary full green and tooled d?cor mor. As an Album. (1)
