Glass plate negative featuring a full-length portrait of Princess Alice on horseback. The princess is riding sidesaddle and faces to the right, turning her head slightly towards the camera. She wears a riding habit, including a long skirt and hat.
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 2900417.
