ARTHUR JAMES MELHUISH (1829-95)
Equestrian Statue of King Charles II in the Quadrangle, Windsor Castle
1854-5623 x 28 cm (whole object) | RCIN 2084846
Glass plate negative of a photograph showing the Equestrian Statue of King Charles II in the Quadrangle, Windsor Castle. The photograph was taken from in front of St. George's Gate, with King John's Tower to the left. The area of the sky is 'blacked out'.
The glass plate negative has been photographed showing the coated side and therefore the image appears laterally reversed. The original work used to produce this negative may have been any of the following RCINs: 2100343, 2100361, 2100169. For a variant by the same photographer see, RCIN 2100015.
