    Description
    Photograph of a half-length painted portrait of Thomas Graham by Herbert Ashwin Budd. Graham is wearing a dark jacket with a cardigan underneath and a large bowtie. His left arm rests on a table near a stack of two books. The painting this photograph depicts was in turn based on a lithograph print by W Boseley, drawn from a daguerreotype photograph of Graham by Antoine Claudet.
