There’s no information about the photographer on this card, but by comparing the furniture I see that it’s from a photoshoot done with Vernon Heath. See this picture in the NPG collection that is from the same shoot.

A fashionable man
There is no inscription to indicate who this man was, but he clearly was very well-dressed. In 1854 French photographer Camille Silvy set up his studio at the former home of artist John Linnell at 38 Porchester Terrace, London. William Coningham lived at 42 Porchester Terrace, but he sold the house before 1851 [according to the 1851 census] to Royal Navy officer Henry Dundas Trotter, commander of the disastrous 1841 Niger Expedition.

Two unnamed men looking friendly. The one who is standing places his hands on the shoulders of the seated man. What was their relationship, their story?
The photographer W.H. Miller appears in some Welsh newspapers in the early 1870s, as a contestant in dog shows and when he advertised his photography business in The Carmarthen Weekly Reporter:

Woman with a baby
There is no indication as to the name of this woman, but if Maull & Co’s customer books still existed she could be looked up by the number on the back of the card. I simply like the tender way she looks at the baby, and the baby’s blurry arm from movement. Her hairstyle, earring, and clothing are an interesting example of the fashion of the time.
I found another copy of this carte de visite that has a name on the back, looks like it says “Mrs Hill’s Group”.
