Original Military Photography, Caps & Insignia Prints

Photography makes it possible to examine the shape, surface and small identifying details of historical service objects at close range. This collection brings together original photographs by Laurence Kirwan of military and emergency-service caps, helmets, insignia and medals.

Discover studies of individual objects alongside images that emphasise texture, colour and the design of a uniform detail. Some works also explore recognisable non-military subjects within the artist’s broader practice. Review each listing for its photographic subject and available print options, then explore the combination images collection for compositions that bring several related details together.

Explore related collections: Combination Images, Visor Caps and Cap Badges and Helmet Plates.
