Queen Victoria and Albert, Prince Consort 

Photograph of a full length double portrait of Queen Victoria (1819-1901) and Prince Albert, Prince Consort (1819-61). Queen Victoria is seated and facing the viewer with her left hand in her lap. On her right, Prince Albert is seated. He wears a jacket and tie and a sash worn over his left shoulder that is partially obscured by his jacket. He is turned to his left to face the Queen. He holds a scroll in his right hand.

Queen Victoria states in her journal for the 30 June 1854 that both she and Prince Albert were 'very successfully photographed, but it took a long time.' (RA VIC/MAIN/QVJ/1854: 30 June)
