Circular Photograph of two women sitting outside St Leonard's Hill, Clewer. Probably taken with a No 1 Kodak camera. Reproduced on a plate, RCIN 53059.18.
St Leonard's Hill in Clewer, outside Windsor was once owned by Countess Waldegrave, wife of the Duke of Gloucester and was called Gloucester Lodge. Sir Charles Barry purchased the house in 1872; he remodelled the house in a French chateau-style and re-named it St Leonard's Hill. It was largely demolished in 1924.
This photograph is from a series of photographs and negatives (RCINs 2300011-2300088) belonging to the Princess Alexandra of Wales, later Queen Alexandra which were used to decorate porcelain tea service. These were sent to the firm of Brown-Westhead and Moore who created transfers of the images to be used on the porcelain. The china was supplied to the Princess by Mortlocks Ltd from their 'Pottery Galleries' in London. These were originally housed in the box RCIN 2300010 which was used to transport the material to Brown-Westhead and Moore. -
