Glass plate negative of a dagurreotype by Thomas Richard Williams taken in March 1859. The dagurreotype features four half-length portraits of Princess Victoria seated, holding her infant son Prince William on her lap. The work focuses on the top two portraits as the lower ones appear partially cropped.

The glass plate negative has been photographed showing the coated side and therefore the image appears laterally reversed. Whilst the original daguerreotype is no longer part of the Collection, a print from the top right image survives, RCIN 2900159.
