Glass plate negative featuring two full-length portraits of Captain Ross seated, facing towards the camera. He looks away from the viewer and holds a top hat in one hand. Two plants can be seen in the background.

The glass plate negative has been photographed showing the coated side and therefore the image appears laterally reversed. Prints from these images exist in the Collection, RCIN 2917643 and 2917642.
