Glass plate negative featuring two full length portraits of Prince Arthur and Prince Leopold. Whilst Prince Leopold appears seated, Prince Arthur is standing. They both wear Highland dress. Photograph taken at Osborne.
The glass plate negative has been photographed showing the coated side and therefore the image appears laterally reversed. Prints from this negative exist in the Collection, RCINs 2900218 and 2900219.
