Glass plate negative of a hand-coloured daguerreotype depicting a three-quarter-length portrait of Prince Albert. The prince is shown seated on a chair, facing partly to the right. One arm is placed on the armrest, the other rests on his lap. He is wearing a jacket, a cravat and a waistcoat. 

The glass plate negative has been photographed showing the coated side and therefore the image appears laterally reversed. The daguerreotype exists in the Collection, RCIN 2932486
