Glass plate negative of a full length portrait of Princess Helena (1846-1923) standing, facing slightly to the left. She turns her head three-quarters to the right and looks ahead, away from the camera. She holds one hand in front of her waist, while the other hangs by her side. She wears a dark coloured dress decoreated with bows.
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 2900304).
