Lord Redesdale before 1876

This 19th-century carte-de-visite by Lock & Whitfield is a portrait of Lord Redesdale. The photographic portrait depicts a man in formal attire, seated, with a serious expression, his gaze directed towards the viewer. The image is framed by an oval, bordered with a decorative pattern, common in the photographic style of the time. The small size of the photograph, 115 mm high and 89 mm wide, suggests that it may have been part of a collection or album. The photographer, Lock & Whitfield, was a prominent studio in the 19th century known for their portraits. The carte-de-visite format was very popular during the Victorian era.
