Sep 185524.9 x 30.5 cm (whole object) | RCIN 2079384
Glass plate negative showing the north side of the new Balmoral Castle with the construction of the clock tower, centre right, taking place in the background.
Construction of the new Balmoral Castle was completed in 1856 upon which the old castle was demolished.
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 2140234.
