Wet collodion negative | RCIN 2083106

Glass plate negative of a three-quarter length portrait of Maharajah Duleep Singh. He is posed beside a door on the Lower Terrace at Osborne House.

The glass plate negative has been photographed showing the coated side and therefore the image appears laterally reversed. A print of this work exists in the Collection, RCIN 2906554.
