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 her daughter. Princess Beatrice leans into her mother, who places her arm around her daughter.
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 2900307.
