James Russell and Sons were a firm of portrait photographers with their principal studio at Littlehampton and others at Chichester, Worthing, Bognor and Petworth. They also advertised themselves as landscape photographers and exhibited views at the International Exhibition, London, in 1862. They often photographed royalty and advertised this on their cards by adding various royal coats of arms.

Archibald Philip Primrose was born on 7 May 1847 in his parents' house in Charles Street, , 7 Mayfair, London. His father was Archibald Primrose, Lord Dalmeny (1809–1851), son and heir apparent to Archibald Primrose, 4th Earl of Rosebery (1783–1868), whom he predeceased. Lord Dalmeny was a courtesy title used by the Earl's eldest son and heir apparent, during the Earl's lifetime, and was one of the Earl's lesser Scottish titles. Lord Dalmeny (died 1851) was MP for Stirling from 1832 to 1847 and served as First Lord of the Admiralty under Lord Melbourne.
Rosebery's mother was Lady (Catherine Lucy) Wilhelmina Stanhope (1819–1901), a historian who later wrote under her second married name "the Duchess of Cleveland", a daughter of Philip Stanhope, 4th Earl Stanhope. Lord Dalmeny died on 23 January 1851, having predeceased his father, when the courtesy title passed to his son, the future Rosebery, as the new heir to the earldom. In 1854 his mother remarried to Lord Harry Vane (later after 1864 known as Harry Powlett, 4th Duke of Cleveland). The relationship between mother and son was very poor. His elder and favourite sister Lady Leconfield was the wife of Henry Wyndham, 2nd Baron Leconfield.

Scottish children, boy dressed in highland attire, Arthur Neale Photographer, St. Peter's Church Walk, Nottingham
The city is also the county town of Nottinghamshire and the settlement was granted its city charter in 1897, as part of Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations. The boy in the kilt in this image is wearing traditional Highland dress, a form of Scottish national costume. The photo was taken by the photographer Arthur Heale, whose name is printed on the bottom border of the image. The visual search results show that similar historical photographs of young boys in kilts often feature members of the British royal family or children from around the early 1900s. The specific identity of the child in the kilt is not confirmed by the search results, as the name "Arthur Heale" most likely refers to the photographer from Nottingham. Records show various people named Arthur Heale throughout history, including a potential soldier whose family photo may have appeared in a roll of honor, but none can be definitively linked to this specific photograph.
