Albert and Victoria’s collection of glass plate negatives show photographers’ working methods
HILLS & SAUNDERS (1852-2019)
The Bow Room, Buckingham Palace
1873RCIN 2084120
Glass plate negative of a corner view of the Bow Room, formerly known as the Bow Library and 1853 Room at Buckingham Palace, with a fireplace on one side. A number of vases and candelabra are placed on the mantle, while a pair of leather chairs flank the fireplace. A full length portrait of Marie Henriette, later Queen of the Belgians (RCIN 405103), hangs nearby.
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 2101710.
