| "This, to speak metaphorically, is the jewel to contain which the magnificent shrine known as the 'Albert Memorial' was erected in Hyde Park, London. ... At the beginning of 1876 the colossal figure, weighing nearly ten tons, was fixed in its assigned position, and gilded in accordance with the contract between the committee and the sculptor, the Queen having, on the 9'th of March, inspected the work....The Prince is represented in the rich robes and with the insignia of the Order of the Garter, and holding in his right hand the catalogue of the Great Exhibition of 1851." (Art Journal 1877) | ||||
