Glass plate negative of two stag heads and the fur of a stag positioned in an arrangement in front of a stone wall. There is a gun leaning against the wall on the left side of the photograph. Photograph taken in Balmoral.
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 2117017.
