Glass plate negative of a full length portrait of Prince Alfred later Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha (1844-1900) in naval uniform. The prince stands, facing towards the camera and gazing to the left. He poses with his one hand on the hip, while his other hand rests on a table holding his cap.
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 2907752.
