Glass plate negative of a daguerreotype nailed down on a wooden board. The image shows a full-length double portrait of Prince Arthur, later Duke of Connaught (1850-1942) and Princess Princess Louise, later Duchess of Argyll (1848-1939) standing. The princess rests one hand on her brother's shoulder who leans against a sword. He wears highland dress.
The glass plate negative has been photographed showing the coated side and therefore the image appears laterally reversed. Prints from this negative do not seem to exist in the Collection.
