Albert and Victoria’s collection of glass plate negatives show photographers’ working methods
The Drawing Room, Frogmore House
1861RCIN 2084097
Glass plate negative of an interior view of the Drawing Room at Frogmore House. The image focuses on Princess Victoria, Duchess of Kent's (1786-1861) table. There are a variety of decorative objects on it, including various framed portraits of family members.
The photograph was possibly taken shortly after the death of the Duchess, Queen Victoria's mother, who lived the latter years of her live at Frogmore House.
The glass plate negative has been photographed showing the coated side and therefore the image appears laterally reversed. Prints from this negative do not seem to exist in the Collection, however variants from the Drawing Room taken during the same sitting ar erepresented by RCIN 2101386 and 2101388.
