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

JOHN JABEZ EDWIN MAYALL (1813-1901)

Queen Victoria (1819-1901)

1859-61

RCIN 2082458

Glass plate negative showing a full length portrait of Queen Victoria standing and facing to the right. She tilts her hear slightly downwards and leans her right arm against the pedestal of a column that bears a Royal Crest. She holds a fan in her right hand. Drapery and a balustrade can be seen in the background. 

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 2912657.
