He played a pivotal role in introducing Edison's groundbreaking phonograph cylinder audio recording technology to England in 1888. The image captures Sir Douglas in a thoughtful pose, with his hands folded behind his back, and a serious expression on his face. He wears a slim-fitting dark suit, complete with a wing collar, which was a popular fashion choice during the late Victorian era.
