    Photograph of a three-quarter length portrait of a woman; she is seated and holds a book on her lap. An old label below the print identified the woman as Mrs Lillie, a nurse of Queen Victoria; however a second note below identifies her as Marie Walburg, Baroness de Speth, possibly a Lady in Waiting to the Duchess of Kent. Another copy of this is RCIN 2906677.
