Glass plate negatives
Albert and Victoria’s collection of glass plate negatives show photographers’ working methods
Balmoral Castle from the approach
1858RCIN 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.
