Albert and Victoria’s collection of glass plate negatives show photographers’ working methods
AFTER THOMAS RICHARD WILLIAMS (1825-71)
'Prince Edward of Leiningen (1833-1914)'
c. 1857RCIN 2084321
Glass plate negative of a daguerreotype featuring a near full length portrait of Prince Edward of Leiningen (1833-1914) seated, facing three-quarters to the right. The prince turns his head three-quarters towards the left and gazes ahead, away from the camera. He holds a piece of paper in his one hand and rests his other arm on a table positioned beside him.
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 2906635).
