Glass plate negative of a full length portrait of Princess Louise, later Duchess of Argyll (1848-1939), standing, facing right. She looks ahead, her face captured in profile. She holds a plumed hat in front of her. She poses in front of a painted backdrop depicting a landscape scene.

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 2900475.
