Glass plate negatives

Albert and Victoria’s collection of glass plate negatives show photographers’ working methods

JOHN JABEZ EDWIN MAYALL (1813-1901)

Princess Beatrice (1857-1944)

Mar 1861

RCIN 2082537

Glass plate negative of a full length portrait of Princess Beatrice standing, facing a quarter to the right and gazing ahead. She holds a hat trimmed with feathers in her hands, placing it on top of a table draped with a patterned fabric. A striped shawl sits on top of the table.

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 2900499.
