Summary
Mounted photographic print of Beatrix Potter, her father Rupert Potter and brother Walter Bertram Potter seated outside a conservatory, probably at the house Coniston Bank. A spaniel - Spot - lies at Beatrix's feet. Photographed by Rupert Potter September 1890 (according to an inscription on a similar photograph, HIL.R.382). This photograph is mounted on a page of a photograph album, and is in fact part of the album HIL.R.169, from which it had become separated and with which it is now stored. See HIL.R.382, another copy of the same photograph; HIL.R.169, the album from which the print is taken.
