John Wesley Livingston (1835-1897)
Glass plate negative 1874

5"x7" glass plate negative of two terracotta busts of Henry Stuart, Prince of Wales (WC sculpture 201) and Catherine of Valois (WC sculpture 200). Photographed for the Windsor Castle Inventory of Statuary, Busts etc. (RCIN 1101202).
Of the eleven terracotta busts that Rysbrack completed for Queen Caroline’s library at St James’s Palace only three survive: Edward the Black Prince (RCIN37067), Edward VI (RCIN53346) and Queen Elizabeth I (RCIN45101). The others were destroyed, and this one partially damaged, in 1906 when the shelf on which they stood collapsed. The busts had been moved to the Orangery at Windsor Castle in 1825 when Queen Caroline’s library at St James’s Palace in London was demolished. -
