Glass plate negatives

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

UNKNOWN PERSON

Prince Albert (1819-1861)

1850-61

RCIN 2083248

Glass plate negative of a three-quarters-length portrait of Prince Albert, seated on a chair. The prince faces towards the viewer and turns his head to the left to gaze ahead, away from the camera. He wears a uniform and the badge, sash and star of the Order of the Garter. He crosses his hands and places them on his lap. 

The glass plate negative has been photographed showing the coated side and therefore the image appears laterally reversed. Prints from this negative do not seem to exist in the Collection.
