7" x 9" glass plate negative of a stereoscopic photograph, possibly a daguerreotype, of Victoria, Duchess of Kent. Three-quarters length portrait, facing half to the left with one hand to her chest and the other resting on the back of a chair while holding a parasol.
The glass plate negative has been photographed showing the coated side and therefore the image appears laterally reversed.
