Wet collodion negative | RCIN 2082578

Photograph of a full length double portrait of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. Queen Victoria looks towards Prince Albert, her face captured in profile.

The glass plate negative has been photographed showing the coated side and therefore the image appears laterally reversed. Several prints from this negative exist in the Collection, for example, see RCIN 2914956.
