Photograph of a full length portrait of Queen Victoria (1819-1901) and Albert, Prince Consort (1819-61) taken at Buckingham Palace. The Queen is seated with her left hand on her lap and faces the viewer. On her right is seated Albert, Prince Consort who wears a jacket and tie with a sash worn over his left shoulder that is partially obscured by his jacket. He is turned to his left to face the Queen and 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).
