1865rif. 126391865. Photographer unknown Rodman cannon tintype photograph circa 1860s documents one of the most important classes of heavy artillery used by the United States during the Civil War and in nineteenth-century coastal defense. The image supports research into Union ordnance technology military engineering and the visual culture of large-scale artillery deployment. Rodman guns developed under the direction of ordnance officer Thomas J. Rodman marked a major expansion in American heavy weapons design and photographs of these guns preserve direct evidence of how such artillery was presented maintained and understood in relation to the men who worked around it. Half plate tintype photograph image approximately 4.5 x 7 inches showing three men posed on and beside a large Rodman cannon mounted on a wheeled rail-supported carriage. The gun's immense barrel dominates the composition with its pronounced rounded breech and upper vent area clearly visible. The carriage rests on a circular rail track designed to allow the piece to be traversed for aiming a system associated with fortified coastal positions and heavy defensive artillery. One man stands beside the carriage while two others are seated or leaning along its structure their bodies providing a clear sense of the cannon's scale. Their caps and work clothing suggest artillery personnel or laborers engaged with the weapon and its mounting rather than a purely studio portrait setting. Rodman guns were introduced in the 1850s and became central to American heavy ordnance during the Civil War especially in siege and harbor defense contexts where large-caliber smoothbore cannon were required to fire explosive shells against ships and fixed fortifications. This photograph is valuable not only for the weapon itself but for the relationship it establishes between industrial-scale artillery and the human figures tasked with operating it. The image records mid-nineteenth-century military technology in a direct and legible form with the rail carriage and posed attendants making the engineering purpose immediately visible. Minor surface wear and edge rounding consistent with nineteenth-century tintypes; overall good condition. A strong documentary image of Civil War era heavy artillery and the material scale of Union ordnance production. unknown

1841rif. 125526London: John W. Parker 1841. First edition. "Reputedly William IV proposed that a series of regimental histories should be compiled whereby the general public could be apprised of the distinguished services rendered by the regiments of the British army. the work of compilation was entrusted by royal warrant to Cannon. He started immediately and the first volume to be published was a history of the Life Guards in 1837. Cannon's warrant expired on the death of William IV but was renewed on Victoria's accession to the throne. Unfortunately the official funding was not maintained and Cannon endeavoured to finance the project from his own pocket consequently running into serious pecuniary difficulties. Cannon's volumes were authoritative and readable well produced and often well illustrated. If somewhat lacking in the human interest expected of modern historians Cannon nevertheless set a standard for succeeding regimental historians to emulate" ODNB. Subsequent printings were published with 'much inferior' unsigned wood-engraved variants of the original plates. The exact process by which copies of Cannon's histories came to be bound in this style generally termed "presentation" - very occasionally signed by Smith of Long Acre - is not known. This copy with a Fifteenth Hussars gift inscription "J.E.L. XV KH from K.H.L." and loosely inserted autograph note signed from Aimée Lowther dated 24 July 1896 inviting Lord Greenock to dine; the actress Aimée Lowther was the sister of tennis champion Toupie Lowther and the daughter of Francis Lowther at one time flag-lieutenant to vice-admiral Sir Baldwin Walker; she was a friend of Ellen Terry and Oscar Wilde see Val Brown Toupie Lowther: Her Life 2017.
