Prince Leopold, later Duke of Albany (1853-84)

Glass plate negative of a full length portrait of Prince Leopold standing, facing three-quarters to the left. He looks ahead, away from the camera, and places one arm on the back of a chair. The prince wears the costume of son of King Henry IV, featuring a hat, tunic with pointed collar and tights.

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

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 2900167 and 2914288 (for a hand-colour version).
