Albert and Victoria’s collection shows photographers’ working methods
Thomas Pearce (active c. 1850s)
The Old Gardener Simpson at Corbie Ha (Abergeldie) and his wife Oct 1857
Wet collodion negative | RCIN 2082945
Glass plate negative of a full length double portrait of Mr and Mrs Simpson seated on a wooden bench, facing towards the camera. Mrs Simpson is dressed in a bonnet, check shawl, shirt and patterned skirt and Mr Simpson wears a cap, jacket, shirt and trousers. The bench is located in the middle of a path. The path is surrounded by a hedge and plants.
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 2160051).
