Old Photograph Prince Albert Statue Edinburgh Scotland

Old photograph of the Prince Albert statue in Edinburgh, Scotland. This statue stands in the centre of Charlotte Square, in front of West Register House. In 1861 a plan was drawn up by Robert Matheson, Clerk of Works for Scotland for a larger, more square garden in Charlotte Square, centred upon a memorial to the recently deceased Prince Albert, the consort of Queen Victoria. The commission for the sculpture was granted in 1865 to Sir John Steell. The main statue features an equestrian statue of the prince, in field marshal's uniform, dwarfing the four figures around the base. It was unveiled by Queen Victoria herself in 1876. The stone plinth was designed by the architect David Bryce and the four corner figures are by David Watson Stevenson.
