Summary

Description
English: Karl Marx in London, early May 1861 (photograph: Richard Beard Studio).

More information about its sister photograph which naturally also gives info about it:

"Karl Marx. 1861, early May. London.
Copy, positive. 6x9 cm. Photographer Beard. Dated by a letter from Marx to Lassalle of 8 May 1861, which says: “I enclose two little photographs—one for the Countess [Sophie Hatzfeldt. Ed.], to whom please give my best regards, and one for you” (MEW, Vol. 30, p. 604).
On 10 May 1861, Marx wrote to Engels in Manchester: “Enclosed, firstly, a photograph. Lupus [Wilhelm Wolff. Ed] and Gumpert will each receive ditto as soon as I have more prints. Had the thing taken partly for my Rotterdam cousin [Jacques Philips. Ed.], partly in exchange for photos received in Germany and Holland” (MEW, Vol. 30, p. 165).
On the back of the copy in the Central Party Archives of the Institute of Marxism-Leninism (CPA IML) is a note by Kugelmann: "Karl Marx. Copie 1863 von dem Original im Besitze der Frau Bertha Markheim in Fulda” (“Karl Marx. Copy of 1863 from original in the possession of Frau Bertha Markheim in Fulda”).
In reference to this photograph Mrs. Marx wrote to Bertha Markheim on 12 February 1863: “That you should wish to have my husband’s photograph copied has given him and the children great pleasure; only they all feel it is not a good one, and the girls are now determined to have another done. But at the moment that would be ill-advised, as Karl has been suffering for days from an eye inflammation which has quite disfigured him” (CPA IML, F. 6, No. 41).
An original print of this photo, with the studio imprint, is in the possession of the Marx Memorial Museum in Trier (West Germany)."

Mentioned copy in Marx-Haus must have been this photograph in where Marx facing a slightly different corner (which was also published as a post-card by the museum), rather than the sister photograph used in album.
