Description
Carte de visite (albumen print mounted on card) of Sir William Preece, standing three-quarter length, facing slightly left of front, with monocle and buttonhole. The later identifying inscription appears to read 'G. E. Preece' but the appearance is typical of the telegraph engineer Sir William Henry Preece (1834-1913).
