photograph by Mason and Co of 28 old bondstreet.

by looking for more info about Mason and Co 
we found this picture.
Maybe he was a specialist photographer of clergymen or it was a clergymens outing.
same chair , same chest.

First noted by Cory in 1864. Listed in MN1867 as Mason & Co. KN1865 refers to a further studio at 28 Old Bond Street, London, and Pritchard shows Mason at this address from 1865 to1874. Cory mentions an additional branch in Cheltenham. This must be the Mason & Co studio at 9a Promenade Villas, Cheltenham, as listed in 1865 and recorded by Hallett.
