Arthur Wellesley is certainly my favourite historical figure, as I am quite the lover of Napoleonic and British history, and was wondering if there are any known surviving (or even damaged) photographs of him. I know of this daguerreotype of Arthur Wellesley in his later years of life, and I also found this possible image of him, but does anyone know if A) the aforementioned image is actually him, or B) where I could find any other images of him?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

There are a huge number of paintings of Arthur Wellesley on the Getty Images website.
Not that I'm aware of.
I do have a small statue of him that was given invitees to his funeral. Odd bit of Iron Duke memorabilia.
