Civil War Heavy Artillery Rodman Cannon Tintype Photograph circa 1860s

1865126391865. 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

Historical Record of the Thirty-Ninth or the Dorsetshire Regiment of Foot:

1853168026London: Printed by George E. Eyre and William Spottiswoode published by Parker Furnivall and Parker 1853. Smartly presented history of the hard-fighting 39th First and most desirable edition; subsequent printings were published with 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 handsome style generally termed "presentation" - very occasionally signed by Smith of Long Acre - is not known. "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 principal clerk of the adjutant-general's office. 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. The Dorsets raised in 1689 and reformed in 1702 fought in Spain and Portugal during the War of the Spanish Succession; during the 18th century they were at the siege of Gibraltar from whence the regiment's badge and in 1754 were the first British Army unit deployed to India hence their motto "Primus in India" and fought at Plassey. In 1809 they were sent to Spain fighting at Wellington's signal victories at Talavera Bussaco Badajoz Albuera and Vittoria. From 1832 a 13-year posting to India saw them taking part in the Coorg and Gwalior campaigns. The history cuts off before their embarkation for the Crimea in 1854. Octavo 210 x 123 mm. Engraved series title 2 hand-coloured lithographic plates heightened with gum arabic both by Madeley showing the regimental colours and badge and a group of three officers in uniform of the 1840s. Contemporary red morocco "presentation binding" spine gilt lettered direct five raised bands gilt royal crest crowned lion statant surmounting imperial crown at head foliate devices to other compartments St George and dragon at foot sides with panel of thick and thin gilt fillets enclosing an ornamental panel centre tool of the royal arms title above and dates below foliate edge roll and turn-ins recent yellow surface-paper endpapers gilt edges.
