John Stuart Mill
An 1865 CDV by London photographer John Watkins of philosopher, economist, and parliamentarian John Stuart Mill (1806 - 1873). According to Mill in an 1867 letter, this was the only photographic portrait session for which he ever sat:
'Want of time, combined with dislike for the operation, has obliged me to refuse all proposals from photographers to take my likeness, except in one instance, when I sat to Mr Watkins of Parliament Street, from whom any one who wishes for a photograph of me can obtain one.'*
