Glass plate negatives

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

JOHN JABEZ EDWIN MAYALL (1813-1901)

Family portrait with bust of Prince Albert

Apr 1863

RCIN 2082664

Glass plate negative of a full length group portrait of royal family members taken after the wedding of Albert Edward, Prince of Wales and Princess Alexandra. The object seems to be a cropped version of RCIN 2082662.

The glass plate negative has been photographed showing the coated side and therefore the image appears laterally reversed.
