Glass plate negatives

Albert and Victoria’s collection of glass plate negatives show photographers’ working methods

JOHN JABEZ EDWIN MAYALL (1813-1901)

Princess Louise, later Duchess of Argyll (1848-1939)

Jun 1860

RCIN 2082610

Glass plate negative of a full length portrait of Princess Louise standing, facing slightly towards the right and leaning against a plinth. She looks towards the camera and holds a book open in front of her waist with both hands. There is a small posy of flowers on top of the plinth.

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 2900342.
