Glass plate negatives

Albert and Victoria’s collection of glass plate negatives show photographers’ working methods

UNKNOWN PERSON

The Drawing Room, Frogmore House

1861

RCIN 2084127

Glass plate negative of an interior view of the Drawing Room at Frogmore House. The image focuses on Princess Victoria, Duchess of Kent's (1786-1861) table. There are a variety of objects on the table, including many framed images. The framed work facing towards the camera appears to be a photograph of a painted portrait of Carl, Prince Leiningen (1804-56) (see RCINs 400913 and 2800660).

The photograph was possibly taken shortly after the death of the duchess who lived the latter years of her live at Frogmore House.

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 2101388.
