Here’s a selection of the conversations happening on these photos & illustrations:

Earl of Mayo Richard Southwell (Bourke)

from National Library of Ireland on The Commons

• John Spooner said:

  "Lord Mayo was stoutly built, with a frank, good-looking face, upon which a smile generally was to be found" - from his obituary following his assassination at Port Blair on the Andaman Islands in 1872. The photograph doesn't seem to have captured his smile.

• National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:

  John Spooner thanks.

• Sharon Corbet said:

  From Wikipedia, it looks like the Bourne & Shepherd name only started being used in 1866.

• National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:

  Sharon Corbet I will update date range.

• John Spooner said:

  He didn't become Viceroy of India until 1868 and didn't arrive in India until January 1869 - I doubt he would have used Bourne and Shepherd's services before that.
  
  Advert from Times of India - Thursday 20 March 1884.
