The Hon. Frank Charteris (1844-70) was the eldest son of Lord Elcho. The heir to a respected title and considerable properties in Scotland, he studied at Balliol College, Oxford between 1864 and 1867. A promising future was cut short in July 1870 when Charteris died as the result of an accidentally self-inflicted bullet wound.

Another print of this image was included by Cameron in the album of her work that she presented to Sir John Herschel in September 1867, very soon after taking this portrait.
