John Henry Campbell.

COLLATION :

A damaged portrait of Major John Henry Campbell, 33rd (Duke of Wellington’s) Regiment of Foot. The framed portrait, 12¾ x 8½ ins overall, has a bust length portrait of the officer in full dress, wearing the distinctive medal for the Abyssinian Campaign of 1866. A typed note on the mount dates the picture to 1878 and on the verso one suggests the painting is on glass. There is a vertical crack through the figure. If the picture were removed from the frame this could possibly be improved by careful fixing of the two halves. we have not tried to remove it as it has been in place for decades at least. aug17/1
