Photograph of a near full length portrait of Winifred 'Bena' Sturt, later Baroness Hardinge (1868-1914), seated on a stone East Asian lion-dog. The shadow of the photographer, the Princess of Wales, can be seen in the foreground. The shadow of a male figure can also be seen, on the lower right side of the photograph. The photograph was taken at Sandringham. Winifred Sturt was Woman of the Bedchamber to Queen Alexandra from 1901-1910. Her father was a close friend of King Edward VII and a race horse owner.
This photograph is from a series of photographs and negatives (RCINs 2300011-2300088) belonging to the Princess Alexandra of Wales, later Queen Alexandra which were used to decorate porcelain tea service. These were sent to the firm of Brown-Westhead and Moore who created transfers of the images to be used on the porcelain. The china was supplied to the Princess by Mortlocks Ltd from their 'Pottery Galleries' in London. These were originally housed in the box RCIN 2300010 which was used to transport the material to Brown-Westhead and Moore.
