Albert and Victoria’s collection of glass plate negatives show photographers’ working methods

Balmoral Castle
1858RCIN 2082979
Glass plate negative featuring two similar views of Balmoral Castle, shown in the distant background. There is a path in the foreground that winds through a forested area in the middle ground.
The glass plate negative has been photographed showing the coated side and therefore the image appears laterally reversed. A print from one of the two negative images exists in the Collection, RCIN 2160083.
