The Princess Royal in her Confirmation dress
20 - 20 Mar 1856RCIN 2083670
Glass plate negative of a full length portrait of Victoria, the Princess Royal, later Empress of Germany (1840-1901). The princess appears as if receiving her Confirmation. She is seen from behind, kneeling at a 'staged' altar, her head bowed.
The glass plate negative has been photographed showing the coated side and therefore the image appears laterally reversed. Prints from this negative exist in the Collection, RCINs 2900073 and 2905589.
