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, sideboard, a writing table and a cabinet with a clock. The paintings on the walls are: Ernest, Prince of Leiningen with Prince Victor of Hohenlohe-Langenburg, Count Gleichen (RCIN 402015), Louis, Duke of Oporto, later Louis I, King of Portugal (RCIN 405117), The Review at Woolwich for Vittorio Emanuele II, King of Sardinia, 1 December 1855 (RCIN 405120), and Victor Emanuel II, King of Sardinia (1820-1878) (RCIN 402017).

The glass plate negative has been photographed showing the coated side and therefore the image appears laterally reversed. A print from this negative exists in the Collection, RCIN 2101715.
