Double portrait of Princess Victoria of Wales (1868-1935) 1893
-
Full length studio double portrait of Princess Victoria of Wales, second daughter of King Edward VII. She stands alongside a plant pot with a fern growing in it. On the left of the picture, she is seated with her left hand resting on the side of the plant pot. Columns and drapery in the background. Signed and dated. A picture such as this would have been achieved by making several exposures on the same photographic plate, masking the lens so as not to expose the same area twice.
