Currently researching this portrait of John Horrocks - you may know him as "the only explorer to be shot by his camel". Notice anything unusual?

This is a 19th century photo of a no longer known painting. Could it be by S.T. Gill? Historical context being researched with SLSA and, as always, via Trove and other digitised and undigitised resources.
