Photo of Sir Arthur Seymour Sullivan first published in 1893 by Alfred Ellis & Walery[1], London. It is a cropped version of a photograph reproduced in Arthur Lawrence's biography, "Sir Arthur Sullivan: Life-Story, Letters, and Reminiscences". London: James Bowden (1899), written with Sullivan's cooperation, which identifies the photo as Sullivan at age 44, which would be 1886 or 1887. It is reproduced in Arthur Sullivan – A Victorian Musician (1986) by Arthur Jacobs (before p. 271), which dates the photograph to "ca. 1885". The photo was taken before Ellis & Walery formed their partnership. Therefore, the Walery gallery must have purchased it to reproduce, or reproduced it on behalf of Arthur Sullivan. The image was probably first used as a carte-de-visit by Sullivan himself in the 1880s, and the identity of the photographer is almost certainly Count Stanisław Julian Ostroróg (1834-1890), the original Walery (see en.wikipedia), father of son and namesake who took over his studio and Walery brand in late 1890.

Arthur Sullivan (13 May 1842 – 22 November 1900) was a British composer best known for his operatic collaborations with the dramatist W. S. Gilbert.
