Glass plate negative of a full-length group portrait, showing, from left to right: Lieutenant General Charles Grey (1804-70); Elizabeth, Duchess of Wellington (1820-1904); M. de Henitze; Sir Charles Phipps (1801-66); Sir James Clark (1788-1870); Dr Ernst Becker (1826-88); George Campbell, 8th Duke of Argyll (1823-1900); Dr Andrew Robertson and Beatrice Byng (1825-84). The group stand beneath trees within the grounds of Balmoral.
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 2906607.
