Description:
This photograph is one item within a small album containing 97 carte-de-visite photographs. The album appears to have been compiled by Thomas Wingate (1807-1869), sketcher, amateur photographer and army officer. Wingate's pencilled identifications appear on the album page below many of the photographs and the album includes a number of photographs taken by Wingate himself. The album also includes some photographs of Wingate's former fellow officers from the 2nd or Queen's Royal Regiment of Foot in which Wingate served from 1835 to 1846, stationed from 1835 until 1842 in India.
The subject of this photograph, Henrietta Otway, nee Langham, was the wife of Arthur John Otway, one of Wingate's fellow officers from the Queen's Royal. She was born in London in October 1818, daughter of Sir James Langham, Baronet, and his wife Elizabeth Burdett. She married Otway at Richmond, Surrey, in September 1851 and died in March 1909 in London. [MM, October 2017]
