Summary
The St. Vincent in Portsmouth Harbour 1883' after an original of c.1862.
Photograph of the starboard of HMS Vincent in anchor in Portsmouth Harbour with the sails down and with sea front buildings in the background.
HMS Vincent was laid down at Plymouth Dockyard in 1810 and launched on the 11th March 1815. The ship was used to transport French troops to the Baltic during the Crimean War, subsequently becoming a training ship from 1862, probably when this photograph was taken, to 1905. This photograph is a carbon copy of the original albumen photograph. Carbon was a process that was less susceptible to fading, unlike an albumen print that is prone to discolouration over time.
Provenance: From an album of photographs collected and arranged by Albert, Prince Consort between 1860 and 1861, Victoria continued the collection after his death.
