Glass plate negative of a full length portrait of Prince Albert, Prince Consort standing next to a small table containing an ink set. The Prince has his left hand resting on top of the table and places his right hand in front of his stomach.
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 2105676.
