Glass plate negatives

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

JOHN JABEZ EDWIN MAYALL (1813-1901)

Prince Alfred, later Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha (1844-1900)

Mar 1860

RCIN 2082544

Glass plate negative of a full length portrait of Prince Alfred, later Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha (1844-1900) in naval uniform. The prince stands, facing slightly to the right and gazing ahead, away from the camera. He leans his one fist on a nearby table and holds a cap on his hip with his other hand. His legs are crossed.

The glass plate negative has been photographed showing the coated side and therefore the image appears laterally reversed. A print from this negative exists in the Collection, RCIN 2900268.
