Glass plate negatives

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

AFTER THOMAS RICHARD WILLIAMS (1825-71)

'Prince Arthur, later Duke of Connaught (1850-1942)'

c. 1856

RCIN 2084348

Glass plate negative of a daguerreotype featuring a full length portrait of Prince Arthur, later Duke of Connaught (1850-1942) standing, facing towards the camera and gazing to the left. The prince leans on small circular table located to his right. He wears a kilt, sporran, a short-sleeved jacket and buckled shoes.

The glass plate negative has been photographed showing the coated side and therefore the image appears laterally reversed. Although the original daguerreotype is historically missing, a print from this negative exists in the Collection (RCIN 2900087).
