RHS Carte de Visite Collection

The photos in the RHS carte de visite collection mostly depict 19th century nurserymen, flower growers, professional gardeners, botanists, and entomologists, many of whom are depicted nowhere else in the historical record.

The collection features some familiar (and less horticultural) faces, too, including Charles Darwin, Charles Dickens and William Makepeace Thackeray.

Can you help in identifying the handful of unnamed portraits among them?
