An exceptional collection of four cabinet cards showcasing a sharpshooter in distinct firing and resting poses. Captured by Gunn & Stuart Studios, renowned photographers located at 2 The Quadrant, Richmond, Surrey, these images reflect the detailed attention to form and equipment typical of late 19th-century portraiture. The shooter is seen practicing different positions with his rifle, including prone, kneeling, and reclining stances, highlighting his expertise. The backs of each card feature the studio's ornate crest and prestigious endorsements, signaling the photographers' esteemed reputation among European royalty. Each card is a fine representation of Victorian-era sporting portraiture, and this set would make an invaluable addition to a collection of early sports or military photography.
