The Statue of the Prince Consort on the Albert Memorial, Hyde Park, 1876. Creator: Unknown
The Statue of the Prince Consort on the Albert Memorial, Hyde Park, 1876. The colossal bronze-gilt statue of the Prince Consort by the late Mr. Foley...is at length unveiled...The right hand grasps a book on which is incised, "Great Exhibition of the Industry of all Nations, "...We know that Mr. Foley repeatedly essayed the effect of his model before he would trust it to be cast, and that he made considerable alterations in...the disposition of the limbs to counteract the effects of foreshortening on a seated figure seen from below. Yet it was inevitable that the lower limbs and knees should come into undue prominence; but for this defect the sculptor...was not responsible...It was, the reader will remember, while working on the model of this statue in situ that Mr. Foley was seized with the illness which terminated in his death; but, happily, the work was left virtually complete'. From "Illustrated London News", 1876

EDITORS COMMENTS
"The Statue of the Prince Consort on the Albert Memorial in Hyde Park, London, was finally unveiled in 1876, marking the completion of this grand tribute to Prince Albert, consort to Queen Victoria. The colossal bronze-gilt statue, created by the late Sir Henry Hugh Armstead Foley, depicts Prince Albert in a seated position, holding a book inscribed with "Great Exhibition of the Industry of all Nations." Foley had worked tirelessly on the statue, making numerous adjustments to the model to counteract the effects of foreshortening on a seated figure viewed from below. However, it was inevitable that the lower limbs and knees would come into undue prominence, a defect for which the sculptor was not responsible. Tragically, Foley fell ill while working on the statue in situ and passed away before its completion. Yet, he had left the work virtually finished, allowing future generations to enjoy this magnificent tribute to Prince Albert and his role in the Great Exhibition of 1851." This photograph captures the beauty and intricacy of the statue, with the sun casting a warm glow on its bronze-gilt surface. The statue's detailed features, from the fur-lined cloak to the lifelike expression on Prince Albert's face, are evident in this image. The surrounding greenery of Hyde Park adds to the serene and peaceful atmosphere, making this a truly breathtaking sight. The statue remains a popular tourist attraction and a symbol of the enduring legacy of Prince Albert and his contributions to British history.
