Frank Delos Coates is in the B album, but he is misplaced in the directory as B 9 (“F. Coates”) when he should be B 10.
Bill Harris fell out of the E album (I’ve seen instances where his image was effaced or disguised); he appears in the directory out of alphabetical order, hinting at loss and reclamation.
Continued here.
The earliest one, from the A album, concerns Bob Rodhe, given in the directory as Rod Rodhe.
I bought this photo on a whim — a sixth sense of a kind. It is lovely in person, and bears the photographer’s embossed stamp as well as the subject’s autograph.
HRH The Princess Louise Caroline Alberta (1848-1939) was the sixth child and fourth daughter of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. She was the first member of the British royal family in several centuries to marry a subject of the crown, albeit a grand one: in 1871, she married John George Edward Henry Douglas Sutherland Campbell, Marquess of Lorne (1845-1914), from 1900 the 9th Duke of Argyll.
HRH The Prince Consort (born HSH Prince Franz August Karl Albrecht Emanuel of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld, 1819-1861) married his first cousin Queen Victoria (1819-1901) in 1840. His carte de visite is by John Jabez Edwin Mayall (born Jabez Meal, 1813-1901); hers is by Ghémar Frères [Louis-Joseph Ghémar (1819-1873) and his half-brother Léon Louis Auverleaux] in Brussels.
Mayall took the first set of cartes de visite of the British royal family in 1860.
