    Hi guys,

    Here is one of my next finds. Nice and old portrait of the officer (?).

    Does any of you can advise me about his rank, unit, etc? Also what for would be that sash?
    Nothing written on the reverse, however, maker marked to "Chancellor" 55, Lower Sackville Street, Dublin.

    Any info would be great!

    Regards,

    Timo

    Here is my today's find. Photo made by Lauder Bros. 45 Lower Sackville Street, Dublin.

    I presume the man's rank on the picture was soldier? Is there any clues of the branch where he served?

    I cannot answer on the ranks or uniforms but I must admit I love the quality of the portraits 100 years ago. They are well composed, the lighting is great and the subjects look so natural!

    And so very dandy :P
