Stew,

Politics are fine in a photographic context and you have certainly raised one here!  My first thought was that these should be presented as faded, sepia toned, images.  Or, you could have recreated the look of an albumen print.  Then I remembered that photography wasn't discovered until 50 years after our Revolution.  (Do you still refer to it as our "rebellion"?)

I have to dig out some images that I did for a friend who is a Civil War recreator.  They were shot on film and all that I may have are some 8x10 prints.

Great work!

Yep your still not safe you rebellious state!! haha isnt it funny to think of America as being a state of another country! I mean Tthe UK could fit into America a million times over and still have room to swing a cat! Although we had the best of it we kept the good whysky and left you with your weak beer and mixed whysky lol hehe Wink

I thought about changing the colours but loved the red of the uniform in colour so kept it. A tale about the uniform for anyone who wants to know. The uniform was used in the TV series which I have included the info below.

"The British Broadcasting Corporation made a eight chapter TV serial of the book in 1971, which had notable performances from Philip Madoc as "Magua", Kenneth Ives as "Hawkeye", John Abineri as "Chingachgook" and Patricia Maynard as "Cora Munro". This is considered by some people to be the best and most faithful adaptation (presumably there were fewer cuts). This serial popularized the term "Mohican hairstyle" in Britain for what is known as a Mohawk hairstyle in the US, although this hairstyle was actually worn by the Hurons, not the Mohicans, in the serial."

The uniform has a burn mark that I had to keep covering up with arms and bags from where the pyro's had burned it.
