Description
Carte de visite (albumen print mounted on card) of Sir William Thomson (later Lord Kelvin), seated nearly half length, body turned to left nearly in profile, head less so, oval matted within image. The Glasgow photographer was known as Signor Paltoni, but his monogram printed on the back appears to be UPP; his first name was Ulysses.
