-
Carte-de-visite of Queen Victoria (1819-1901) and Queen Augusta of Prussia (1811-90) in a garden. They appear to be sitting in opposite directions on a conversation bench. Queen Victoria is sitting in right side profile, wearing a dark-coloured dress and headdress. Her right arm is resting on the arm of the bench. A light-coloured umbrella is propped up against the bench behind her. The Queen of Prussia is sitting on the right of the photograph, facing three-quarters left. She is wearing a dark-coloured dress and a bonnet, which is tied underneath her chin with a wide ribbon. She is holding a book open in both hands and has a bunch of flowers on her lap.
