Glass plate negatives

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

FRANCES SALLY DAY (C. 1816-92)

Princess Victoria, Duchess of Kent (1786-1861)

Apr 1860

RCIN 2082684

Glass plate negative of a full length portrait of Princess Victoria, Duchess of Kent standing. The princess faces to the left, her face captured in profile. She rests one hand on the back of a chair beside her and wears a light coloured dress with a lace shaw around her shoulders. Photograph taken at Buckingham Palace.

The glass plate negative has been photographed showing the coated side and therefore the image appears laterally reversed. At least one print from this negative exists in the Collection, RCIN 2117049.
