In 1848 at least five different images were made at the Royal Mews at Buckingham Palace by an unidentified photographer. Of these, only two have apparently survived: the image included here and a smaller, quarter-plate daguerreotype, captioned Zohrab and other horses. The Queen ‘… went to the stables to see the horses daguerotyped, which really was curious, particularly to see how badly the horses placed themselves, when they had to stand still’ (Journal, 31 May 1848).
