L Haase & Co (active c. 1860-1890s)
Prince Wilhelm, later Wilhelm II (1859-1941) Dec 1860
RCIN 2082515
Glass plate negative of a full length portrait of Prince Wilhelm seated on the ground, facing towards the camera. He looks to the right. He is seated beside a toy horse on wheel.
The negative has been masked out, indicating the photographer's intention to conceal the original background and provide a light, uniform surface instead.
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 2900403.
