EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the Memorial to the late Prince Consort at Hastings in 1864, a tribute to the beloved husband of Queen Victoria. The intricate details of the monument designed by Edward A. Heffer are truly remarkable - from the Perpendicular style tower rising 65 ft. high to the oak door entrance on the west side and granite drinking-basin on the east side.
The statue of Prince Consort in his robes as K.G. stands proudly in a niche on the south side, crafted from Portland stone with exquisite carvings representing England, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales. The octagonal turret above houses chimes with pierced quatrefoils while a spire adorned with ornamental details reaches towards the sky.
Contracted by skilled artisans including sculptor Mr. Edwin Stirling and mason Mr. James Cowley, every aspect of this memorial exudes craftsmanship and reverence for its subject. As lamps illuminate each corner atop York stone blocks, visitors are invited to pay their respects amidst a setting rich in symbolism and history.
This engraving from a photograph by Messrs Ayles and Bonniwell preserves not only an architectural marvel but also a poignant reminder of Prince Consort's enduring legacy in British history.
