Stuffed stag's head at Balmoral
c.1855-60Glass plate negative | RCIN 2084087
Glass plate negative of a stag's head, mounted on a plaque and hanging on the wall at Balmoral castle. The stag was shot by Prince Albert (1819-61) on 25 September 1850.
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 2800695.
