Glass plate negatives

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

ATTRIBUTED TO WILSON & HAY (ACTIVE 1853-55)

Scottish landscape near Balmoral Castle

c. 1854

RCIN 2083979

Glass plate negative of a winding river, possibly Dee, running through a landscape. A suspension bridge is visible on the far right. 

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.
