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.
