CSL&RC PIC 2015/6: Eastwood album no.2

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.
Willoughby Faulkner was born in August 1852, the third son of Captain Henry Cole Faulkner and his wife Rosalinda Frances Morewood. From 1839 until 1842 Henry Cole Faulkner was one of Wingate's fellow officers in the Queen's Royals serving in India. In 1849 he was promoted to captain on the unattached list of the British army and stationed in Belfast as Staff Officer of [Army] Pensioners. In February 1867 Willoughby joined the 15th Lancashire Rifle Volunteer Corps as an Ensign, resigning his commission in May 1872. He later joined the British Consular service and was acting British Consul in Egypt during the British war in Egypt and the Sudan in 1882. When he died in Suez on 31 October 1885 he was Consul to the King of the Netherlands.
This portrait of Willoughby is one of five photographs of members of the Faulkner family in this photograph album, all identified in the same hand, possibly that of Henry Cole Faulkner himself. [MM, October 2017]
