Glass plate negative of a full-length portrait of Prince Albert, Prince Consort, standing, facing towards the camera. He gazes to the right and leans his left elbow against a pillar. A balustarde can be seen behind the prince and drapery on the far left.
The glass plate negative has been photographed showing the coated side and therefore the image appears laterally reversed. Prints from this negative exist in the Collection (e.g. RCINs 2105669 and 2514764)
