Glass plate negative of a full length portrait of Princess Helena (1846-1923) standing, facing a quarter to the left. She looks towards the camera and holds a book in one hand.
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 2915735.
