EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic Prince Albert statue in Wolverhampton, West Midlands. Unveiled by Queen Victoria herself on 30 November 1866, this statue marked a significant moment in history as it was likely Victoria's first public appearance since her beloved husband's death. Crafted by the talented Thomas Thornycroft, the bronze sculpture showcases Prince Albert, dressed in full military uniform, mounted on horseback. The image transports us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into Britain's rich heritage. The commemorative statue stands proudly in Queens Square (formerly known as High Green), renamed to honor Queen Victoria's visit. Its presence symbolizes not only the enduring love between Victoria and Albert but also their contributions to their country. The photograph beautifully captures every detail of this remarkable artwork - from the intricate design of Prince Albert's uniform to the noble expression on his face.
