John Jabez Edwin Paisley Mayall (17 September 1813 – 6 March 1901) was an English photographer who in 1860 took the first carte-de-visite photographs of Queen Victoria. He also captured other famous people such as Charles Dickens and Karl Marx. His photograph of "Sergeant Dawson and his daughter" has been considered one of the most important photographs in history.
