Glass plate negatives

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

WILLIAM BAMBRIDGE (1820-79)

Nero

1854

RCIN 2082442

Glass plate negative of Nero, described as Queen Victoria's 'Blood hound'. The dog is sitting on the ground at the Royal Kennels, Windsor. Nero was bought in 1849 and died 20 on January 1860. He was Rufu's father. 

The glass plate negative has been photographed showing the coated side and therefore the image appears laterally reversed. A print from this negative (RCIN 2105058) can be found in an album belonging to Queen Victoria.
