Photograph of a a man who appears to be whistling by t & j holroyd of harrogate. The photographers were brothers thomas holroyd (1821–1904) and james holroyd (c. 1825–1874). Thomas was a portrait and landscape painter, and james was a photographer, both from harrogate, north yorkshire, england. Although they were both credited, it was james who took most of the photographs. Note: the sitter is almost certainly not whistling. He may have distortion of the lips caused by prominent teeth, for example. He is dressed in the latest fashion, with a cravat knotted like a tie. Date: between 1863 and 1872.
