Glass plate negatives

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

THOMAS PEARCE (ACTIVE C. 1850S)

Balmoral Castle from the approach

1858

RCIN 2082974

Glass plate negative of a North side view of Balmoral Castle. In the foreground is a driveway, lined with trees. The trees partially obscure the view of the castle. Parliament Knowle and other hills can be seen in the background.

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 2160068.
