Glass plate negative of a full length portrait of the shepherd McHardy. He stands facing a quarter to the right and looks ahead, away from the camera. He wears Highland dress, including glengarry. Photograph taken at an outdoor location at Balmoral.
A John McHardy (service no. 848) served in the 93rd Highlanders during the Crimean war. He was awarded the Distinguished Conduct Medal, recommended by his commanding officer on 8 January 1855.
The glass plate negative has been photographed showing the coated side and therefore the image appears laterally reversed. A print from this negative exists in the Collection, RCIN 2906672.
