Glass plate negatives

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 2082461

Glass plate negative of a full length portrait of Queen Victoria seated with a fan on her lap. She faces three-quarters to the right and gazes ahead, away from the camera. A covered table has been placed beside her, upon which the queen rests her right hand. 

The glass plate negative has been photographed showing the coated side and therefore the image appears laterally reversed. Prints from this negative do not seem to exist in the Collection, however a variant from the same sitting, including Prince Albert, is represented by RCIN 2105662.
