Albert and Victoria’s collection of glass plate negatives show photographers’ working methods
JOHN JABEZ EDWIN MAYALL (1813-1901)
Prince Leopold, Duke of Albany (1853-84)
Mar 1861RCIN 2084863
Glass plate negative of a full-length portrait of Prince Leopold standing, facing three-quarters to the right. He gazes ahead, away from the camera and leans against a plinth decorated with drapery. He wears a kilt and sporran and holds a cap.
The glass plate negative has been photographed showing the coated side and therefore the image appears laterally reversed. Prints from this negative do not seem to exist in the Collection, however a variant from the same sitting is represented by RCIN 2907943.
