Current affairs

The opening of the world's first underground railway, with the Metropolitan Railway running trains between Bishop's Street, Padington and Farringdon. Work had begun in 1860, using the 'cut-and-cover' method of construction. The Metropolitan line inspired the construction of other underground railways - the Parisian 'Metro' took its name from the line.
The Football Association is founded.

Art and science

Julia Margaret Cameron takes up photography, taking portraits of some of the most celebrated figures of the day, with her romantic style capturing the sense of nostalgia and longing that characterised the age.
Kingsley's Water Babies; A Fairy Tale for Children is published, the hugely popular tale of drowned chimney sweep Tom's moral education in the river world of the water babies. It inspired the 1978 film starring James Mason.

International

At an international conference, the Geneva Public Welfare Society calls on the sixteen nations present to form voluntary units to help the wartime wounded. The society, comprised of five Swiss citizens and led by Henri Dunant, who had been deeply affected by the casualties he had witnessed at the Battle of Solferino, became the National Red Cross Societies, adopting the emblem of a red cross on white background.

John Arthur Douglas Bloomfield is Lord Bloomfield, 2nd Baron Bloomfield. I believe he is standing in the centre of the photo. His age, if the photo is dated correctly would be 61. I very much think his wife Georgiana is the woman seated in the centre. This is because she has a distinctive face, and I have collected several images of her. Louise Harriet Kingscote would be Lord Bloomfield's niece, daughter of his sister Harriott Kingscote. There are eight women in the photo and only five are named. John Bloomfield had two younger sisters who were alive at the time. Harriott Kingscote and Georgina Trench. The young woman next to Lord Bloomfield looks similar to Harriott Kingscote (Bloomfield's sister). Georgiana, Lady Bloomfield was in England (according to her diaries) from November - December in 1863. There are numerous dated letters from her husband in Vienna, over those two months, during Sleswig-Holstein War, so I can't validate the date of the photo. I think the older lady standing at the back is Caroline Liddell only by comparing her with this photo dated the same year. I'm interested in the family because Lord Bloomfield's mother is a relative of mine. I can't identify the Bradfords.
