Glass plate negatives

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

THOMAS PEARCE (ACTIVE C. 1850S)

John Grant with two dogs

1858

RCIN 2082961

Glass plate negative of a full-length portrait of John Grant (1842-82) standing. He faces towards the camera and looks down at an unidentified dog who sits by his feet. Besides him on the ground lies Waldmann, a daschund. Grant holds the dogs' leads and leans against a wall directly behind him. Photograph taken at 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 2105199.
