Glass plate negative of a full length portrait of Princess Louise standing, facing slightly towards the left. The princess looks ahead, away from the camera. She rests one arm on top of a nearby plinth and holds a small posy of flowers in the other 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 2900343.
