Admiral Sir Assheton Gore Curzon-Howe, KCB, CMG, CVO (1850-1911) was the great-grandson of Admiral Richard Howe, 1st Earl Howe. He entered the Royal Navy in 1863. From 1868 to 1871 he was a junior officer on board the royal yacht HMS Galatea, during Prince Alfred, the Duke of Edinburgh's round the world voyage which included his visit to the Australian colonies in 1867-68 - the first by a member of the royal family. This signed portrait of Curzon-Howe was taken in Oswald Allen's George Street studio, situated just south of Park Street, probably in late January 1868, soon after the Galatea's arrival in Sydney.
