Glass plate negative featuring a full-length portrait of Arthur Hardinge, seated, facing halfway to the right. He turns his head towards the camera and looks to the left. He holds a cane in one hand, on top of which a hat is positioned.
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 2917646.
