'Victoria, the Princess Royal, later Empress of Germany (1840-1901)'

Glass plate negative of a daguerreotype featuring a near full length portrait of Victoria, the Princess Royal, later Empress of Germany (1840-1901). The princess is seated, facing halfway to the left, and turns her head towards the camera, gazing slightly to the left. She wears an off-the-shoulder dark coloured gown and holds a fan in one hand and gloves in the other. Photograph taken at Windsor Castle.

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 2900082).
