Photograph of a view of the western front of Balmoral Castle. Two trees are located in the foreground. The tree branches and foliage are located on either side of the castle and frame the view.

This photograph is a carbon copy of the original albumen photograph. Carbon was a process that was less susceptible to fading, unlike an albumen print that is prone to discolouration over time.
