Wet collodion negative | RCIN 2082703

Glass plate negative featuring two full length portraits of Princess Victoria, Duchess of Kent (1786-1861). Photographs taken on the terrace at Osborne.

The negative image on the right has been scratched out.

The glass plate negative has been photographed showing the coated side and therefore the image appears laterally reversed. A print of the negative image on the right exists in the Royal Collection, RCIN 2513456.
