I would date the Sandys portrait to about 1855.

There are more people in your collections that should be linked to Henry Graves. Robert Graves (1798-1873), Line engraver is his brother. Robert Grave (1768-1825), Printseller is his father. Henry Graves & Co (active 1844-1899), Publishers, was his company and should also be linked.
