The Prince of Wales with his entourage in Rome
1859RCIN 2083307
Glass plate negative featuring two full-length portraits of the Prince of Wales, later King Edward VII (1841-1910) with his entourage in Rome, where the prince studied between January and June 1859. The group includes Major General Robert Bruce, Reverend CF Tarver, Dr T Chambers and Captain GH Grey.
The glass plate negative has been photographed showing the coated side and therefore the image appears laterally reversed. Prints from this negative do not seem to exist in the Collection, however a variant of the same group is represented by RCIN 2922838. For a negative from the same sitting, see RCIN 2082444.
