A carte-de-visite group portrait of the family of Prince Christian of Denmark, later Christian IX of Denmark (1818-1906) (centre, seated), Prince Wilhelm, later King George I of Greece (1845-1913), Princess Dagmar, later Empress Marie Feodorovna of Russia (1847-1928) (left) and Princess Alexandra, later Queen Alexandra of England (1844-1925) (right), and a large dog on the floral carpet. King Christian IX was sometimes known as the 'father-in-law of Europe', because four of his six children married into the British, Greek and Russian royal families.

This is probably a copy of the original photograph (RCIN 2907862) which has a hand-written inscription, listing the sitters' names at the bottom of the photograph, rather than on the mount itself. This copy is dated 1859 on the album by Alexandra.
