HILLS & SAUNDERS (1852 TO DATE)
1855 Room, Belgian Floor, Buckingham Palace
1873RCIN 2084145
Glass plate negative of a corner view of the 1855 Room, Buckingham Palace, looking towards a full length window. There are two circular tables covered, various chairs, a writing table, a sideboard and a cabinet with a clock. Two large paintings, still in the Royal Collection, are mounted on the wall.
The glass plate negative has been photographed showing the coated side and therefore the image appears laterally reversed. Prints from this negative do not seem to exist in the Collection, however a variant of te room from the same session is represented by RCIN 2101715.
