This person died in 1875 and this photograph was taken in 1869. So apparently photography was reasonably common by then, though it must be said that he was something of a celebrity by that point.
He was one of the most famous authors of the nineteenth century. Charles Dickens is said to have modelled one of the characters from David Copperfield on him.

How wonderful that Danny Kaye played him in the movie based loosely on his life!
His name is Hans Christian Andersen!
Anderson, that's who!
This ugly duckling never quite made it into swan-ness, though, did he?

Mm. That was jolly quick! I knew practically nothing about him myself until I googled and wikipediaed a bit to find the photograph.
Ah, well. Your turn, Timmy.
