The Duchess of Kent's Bedroom, Frogmore House
1861RCIN 2084141
Glass plate negative of the interior of Princess Victoria, Duchess of Kent's (1786-1861) bedroom, located upstairs in Frogmore House. In the centre of the image is a small table on which sit a range of framed works. A wall in the background is decorated with various paintings.
The photograph was possibly taken shortly after the death of the duchess 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. A print from this negative exists in the Collection, RCIN 2101403.
