MARY ADELAIDE (Duchess of Teck, 1833-1897, Queen Mary's Mother)

Fine cabinet gelatin silver print photo by Alexander Bassano, signed under the image showing her in semi profile, wearing a dark coloured dress with a ruffled skirt, white ruffled collar and cuffs, and a hat secured with a large bow tied under her chin. Her right hand rests on a bamboo chair back, her left hand holds a parasol and handbag. The portrait is set against a painted fauna backdrop, 6½" x 4¼", no place, no date but circa

The Queen acquired another nearly identical photo from the same sitting in 2004. The interesting thing is that this example has been retouched to considerably reduce the waist and shoulders. https://www.rct.uk/collection/2507693/princess-mary-adelaide-duchess-of-teck-1833-1897
