The First Photo Assistant?

Could this guy be the first photo assistant?
Photo assistant Marcus Sparling, seated on Roger Fenton’s photographic van, 1855. Fenton used this mobile darkroom to cover the Crimean War for a publishing company with assistance from the British government. Photo from the U.S. Library of Congress Fenton collection.
