Princess Beatrice (1857-1944)

Glass plate negative of a full-length portrait of Princess Beatrice seated on a table, facing towards the camera. She holds her hat, decorated with various ribbons, on her lap. On the right, a female figure, possibly Princess Alice, later Grand Duchess of Hesse and by Rhine (1843-78), is partly visible. On the opossite side, stands an unidentified female figure, perhaps the pincess's nurse.

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 2900190.
