Prince Arthur, later Duke of Connaught (1850-1942), as a private of the Grenadier Guards

Glass plate negative of a full length portrait of of Prince Arthur dressed as a Private of the Grenadier Guards for the tableau, 'The Allies', performed at Windsor Castle in 1856. The young prince is seated, facing towards the camera. He turns his head slightly to the right and looks towards the camera. He holds a glass on one knee. He wears a cap, sash, uniform jacket and light coloured trousers.

The negative has been masked out, indicating the photographer's intention to crop the work to the smaller square.

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 2900069.
