Sport! Or A Battue Made Easy - Introducing Prince Albert as the Phony Sportsman of 1845
EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing cartoon print, titled "Sport! Or A Battue Made Easy," offers a humorous take on the public's perception of Prince Albert, the consort of Queen Victoria, as a sportsman. The image, created between 1819 and 1861, depicts Albert in a rather unusual hunting scene. Instead of being out in the field with a rifle in hand, he is shown comfortably seated in an armchair, complete with a smoking pipe in one hand and a glass of wine in the other. The prey, a duck, is conveniently positioned right in front of him, seemingly ready to be shot. The title of the print, "A Battue Made Easy," is a reference to the French hunting term "battue," which describes the driving of game towards hunters. The phrase "made easy" suggests that Albert's approach to hunting is more about leisure and comfort than actual skill or effort. This caricature likely reflects the public's perception of Albert as a man who preferred the comforts of indoor pursuits over the more strenuous outdoor activities associated with traditional British sportsmanship. Despite this, Albert was known to be an avid collector of sporting memorabilia and an enthusiastic supporter of various sports, including cricket and horse racing. The cartoon's playful depiction of Albert as a phony sportsman adds an entertaining twist to the historical record, offering a glimpse into the public's perception of the prince and the cultural expectations of masculinity during the Victorian era.
