Summary
| Description |
Edmund Barron Hartley VC, b. 6 May 1847, taken on 29 June 1859. One of my favourite ever acquisitions, and the inspiration behind the creation of the [ 150 Years Old] Flickr group. For the full image, including the inscription on the reverse, see www.flickr.com/photos/whatsthatpicture/3426833107/ What makes this image particularly special is that it is precisely dated, reliably named (including date of birth), and traceable to quite a notable figure, being a recipient of a Victoria Cross for his deeds as a surgeon in the Basuto War in Southern Africa - see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edmund_Barron_Hartley Aside from its history, it's a lovely, quite early ambrotype (1859), of good quality and in great condition. But what I just love about this picture is the fact that here he is at the age of 12 with no idea of what lies ahead of him in life, let alone that he will be awarded with perhaps the most prestigious and rare awards that any serviceman can receive. Money can't buy stories like that! |
