Glass plate negative of a full-length group portrait of Queen Victoira and Prince Albert with seven of their nine children. It features from righ to left, Prince Leopold, Princess Louise, Queen Victoria, Prince Arthur, Princess Alice, Victoria, Princess Frederick of Prussia, Princess Beatrice, Prince Consort, Princess Helena. The photograph was taken outside Osborne House, part of the building can be seen in the background.
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 (e.g. 2900181).
