Stag shot by the Prince in the Ditch
1857RCIN 2082932
Glass plate negative of a head of a stag shot by Prince Albert (1819-61) in 1857. The head is positioned on top of a wooden box, facing towards the right. Various foliage have been placed around the stag's neck. The box is positioned in front of a stone wall.
The glass plate negative has been photographed showing the coated side and therefore the image appears laterally reversed. A print from the left image exists in the Collection, RCIN 2117007.
