Glass plate negative featuring two full-length double portraits of Princess Alice and Prince Louis. Whilst in the left image the princess is seated and the prince is standing, in the right image the couple is shown standing. 

The glass plate negative has been photographed showing the coated side and therefore the image appears laterally reversed. A print from the left image exists in the Collection, RCIN 2900427.
