Glass plate negative of a full length double portrait of Prince Arthur and Princess Beatrice. The princess is standing, facing three-quarters to the left, her visible hand by her side. Her curly, long hair hangs loose down her back. Prince Arthur sits with his legs crossed beside her, holding his cap in one hand.

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 2900948
