Prince of Wales’s Tour in India 1875-6. A very good group portrait of the Prince with his suite [without their helmets]

An excellent full plate portrait [10½ x 7½ ins.] with the 23 members of his staff on old backing paper [small creas from left top but not resching the figures] titled in ink Bombay. November 1875. The photograph is particularly well toned and detailed. Unlike dec24/2 shown earlier today this time the sitters have removed their helmets. This is much more helpful for facial recognition athough personaly I like to see helmets in place.  We are able to identify the sitters using a reference copy we have of another example of this image. the central seated row from left: Lord Suffield, Duke of Sutherland, H.R.H. the Prince of Wales, Sir Barstle Frere, Maj.
