Abstract
On Saturday morning, February 26, 1859, Queen Victoria and Prince Albert visited the sixth annual exhibition of the Photographic Society. Their visit was not merely a gesture of royal courtesy. The couple were collectors of this new art and had been patrons of the society since its founding in 1853. Nor was this the first visit by the prince to the current exhibition. An avid photographer himself, he had earlier “made a minute … inspection” of the pictures, and would have been thinking of making a purchase.1 The royal fascination with photography was widely shared. There were numerous photographic societies in Britain, stretching from Glasgow to the Isle of Wight, and in London alone, there were dozens of photographic studios, testifying to the growing popularity of this new mode of recording not only what the eye could see but what it could not.
