Pictured are Mary Ryan, Mary Kellaway and Henry Taylor (1800-1886), one of Cameron's favorite subjects. She wrote of him: "One chief friend lent himself greatly to my early efforts. Regardless of the posible dread that sitting to my fancy might be making a fool of himself he with greatness which belongs to unselfish affection consented to be. . . Ahasuerus. . .and do whatever I desired of him." This print was apparently exhibited at Colnaghi Galleries.
