Glass plate negatives

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

FRANCES SALLY DAY (1815-92)

Prince Alfred (1844-1900), Princess Victoria, Duchess of Kent (1786-1861) and Princess Alice (1843-1878)

Apr 1860

RCIN 2082706

Glass plate negative featuring two full-length group portraits of Prince Alfred, the Duchess of Kent and Princess Alice. The Duchess is seated at the centre of the group, her grandchildren standing either side. She is shown holding hands with Princess Alice who stands on the far left. Photographs taken in Buckingham Palace.

The glass plate negative has been photographed showing the coated side and therefore the image appears laterally reversed. Prints from both images exist in the Collection, RCINs 2513466 and 2513467.
