Glass plate negative of a full length portrait of Emily Cathcart (1834-1917) seated beside a small, cloth covered round table upon which she rests her arm. She faces the camera and turns her head to the right, her face captured in profile. She wears a checked dress. 

Emily Cathcart was Maid of Honour 1855-80, Extra Woman of the Bedchamber 1880-90, and Woman of the Bedchamber from 1891.

The glass plate negative has been photographed showing the coated side and therefore the image appears laterally reversed. A Print from this negative exists in the Collection, RCIN 2906616.
