Portret van John Russell 1850 - 1860

This is a portrait of John Russell, a prominent figure in British politics, taken sometime between 1850 and 1860 by the photographic studio of W. Walker and Sons. The image, a classic example of 19th-century portrait photography, captures Russell in a formal pose, seated and wearing a coat and waistcoat. The photograph's small dimensions, measuring 86 mm by 53 mm, suggest it may have been a carte-de-visite, a popular format for portrait photographs in the mid-19th century.
