Princess Alice, later Grand Duchess of Hesse and by Rhine (1843-78)

Glass plate negative of a full length portrait of Princess Alice standing, facing to the right. She turns her head slightly towards the camera, while holding a book up against a pillar with both hands.  A dark lace shawl is draped over her elbows. 

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 (e.g. RCINs 2900432 and 2900449).
