Jan 1855RCIN 2083761
Glass plate negative of a full length portrait of Emily Cathcart (1834-1917) seated beside a small, cloth covered round table upon which she rests her arm. She faces the camera and looks slighty to left. She wears a checked dress.
Emily Cathcart was Maid of Honour 1855-80, Extra Woman of the Bedchamber 1880-90, and Woman of the Bedchamber from 1891.
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 2906615.
