Glass plate negatives

Albert and Victoria’s collection of glass plate negatives show photographers’ working methods

AFTER THEODORE BRUNELL (1822-61)

'Prince Albert’s two Jägers, MacDonald and Cowley, his Head Keeper Turner and some of the other Keepers and Beaters'

c. 1852

RCIN 2083207

Glass plate negative of a daguerreotype of a group of men, including the gamekeepers Mr McDonald and Mr Cowley, gathered in front of a wall of Windsor Castle. At the centre of the group a tall man stands with a gun resting on either shoulder. The man in front of him bends down to button his gaiters. All of the men are wearing top hats and most are carrying sticks. 

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 2932497.
