Glass plate negative of a full length portrait of Prince Leopold standing, facing slightly to the right. He looks towards the camera and tucks one hand into his jacket. He holds a posy in the other hand. Photograph taken outside Buckingham Palace.
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 2900093.
