Glass plate negative of a full length double portrait of Queen Victoria and Princess Beatrice seated next to each other. The queen gazes down at the princess and places her arms around her. Princess Beatrice looks towards the camera and leans into her mother.
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 2900306.
