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 2082535

Glass plate negative of a full length portrait of Princess Beatrice standing, facing slightly towards the right. The princess turns her head towards the camera and looks towards the left. She holds an open book in her hands and leans against a small table draped with patterned fabric. A small posy sits on 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 2900502.
