Albumen cabinet card portrait of Sir Edwin Henry Landseer, identified in the printed mount as “The Late Sir Edwin Landseer R.A.” and issued by the London Stereoscopic & Photographic Company. The formal seated portrait shows the artist holding a pencil and drawing board, suggesting his profession, and was produced shortly after his death in 1873, consistent with the memorial wording. The photographer’s imprint and London addresses at Regent Street and Cheapside are clearly visible on the mount and verso.
Landseer is shown facing forward with a direct, steady gaze, wearing a textured jacket, waistcoat, and tied cravat. A strap crosses his chest, and his right hand rests on the edge of a drawing board while the left holds a pencil poised for work. His distinctive full side whiskers and slightly tousled hair frame the face, with soft studio lighting isolating the figure against a plain backdrop.
The mount reads “The Late Sir Edwin Landseer R.A.” above “Stereoscopic Co” with “110 & 108 Regent St. W.” printed below. The verso carries an elaborate London Stereoscopic & Photographic Company design noting “Photographers to the Royal Family,” multiple prize medal cities, and addresses at “54 Cheapside E.C.” and “110 & 108 Regent St. W.” A penciled note on the reverse gives biographical details and dates for Landseer, born 1802 and died 1873.
