The Queen's Dressing Room, Buckingham Palace

Glass plate negative featuring two almost identical views of the Queen's Dressing Room at Buckingham Palace. The queen's dressing table and mirror dominate the frame. There is a door covered in mirror on the far wall. A large, gothic-style dresser or wardrobe is visible beside it, above which is a portrait of the Duchess of Kent (RCIN 406883).
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 2103834.
