His portfolio boasts an impressive array of portraits, including Isambard Kingdom Brunel, the visionary engineer behind iconic structures like the Great Western Railway and Clifton Suspension Bridge. Mayall's lens also immortalized Queen Victoria and her beloved Prince Consort in a regal portrait that exudes elegance and grace. The Earl of Derby, a prominent political figure during 1860-69, found himself under Mayall's expert eye as well. The resulting portrait captures his commanding presence and statesmanlike demeanor. Another notable subject was the Crown Princess of Prussia, whose beauty radiates through Mayall's lens. Mayall had the privilege to photograph not only royalty but also influential politicians such as William Ewart Gladstone and Lord John Russell. Their portraits reflect their gravitas and dedication to public service. In addition to capturing adults in their prime, Mayall also turned his attention towards younger members of royal families. Princess Beatrice shines with youthful innocence while H. R. H The Princess Louisa emanates charm beyond her years. Of course, no collection would be complete without photographs of future monarchs - H. R. H The Prince of Wales (later King Edward VII) and H. R. H The Princess Alice (later Grand Duchess of Hesse). These images showcase their youthfulness while hinting at the responsibility that awaited them. Through his artistry, it has left us with timeless glimpses into history - snapshots frozen in time that allow us to connect with these remarkable individuals from centuries past.
