Statue of Andromeda on the Lower Terrace at Osborne
Aug 1854RCIN 2083966
Glass plate negative of a bronze fountain group of Andromeda atop a marble plinth base which is set inside a wider circular pool (RCIN 41823). The upper terraces of Osborne may be seen in the background with part of Osborne house visible in the top part of the photograph.
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 2906118.
