Glass plate negative of a full length portrait of Prince Albert standing next to a pillar, facing three-quarters to the right. He holds a walking stick and top hat in front of his body.
The glass plate negative has been photographed showing the coated side and therefore the image appears laterally reversed. At least two prints from this negative exist in the Collection, RCIN 2914955 and 2105672. For a hand-coloured version, see RCIN 2105671.
