A photograph of a young girl holding a doll, taken by John Dillwyn Llewelyn (1810-1882), in about 1856. The subject is possibly of Elinor, one of Llewelyn's six children. The central portrait is framed with a wreath of ferns. Llewelyn took a series of botanical daguerreotypes for Kew Gardens as early as 1842. A photographic pioneer, Llewelyn was related by marriage to William Henry Fox Talbot (1800-1877). He developed his own photographic process, the oxymel process, and was a founding member of the Photographic Society of London.
