Mar 1862

RCIN 2082697

Glass plate negative featuring two full length portraits of  Princess Victoria seated, facing slightly to the right. She holds what looks like one or two flowers on her lap, and wears a long cape over her dress, buttoned at her neck. Two plants can be seen in background.

The glass plate negative has been photographed showing the coated side and therefore the image appears laterally reversed. A print from the left negative image exists in the Collection, RCIN 2900553.
