Background
Taken in 1865 on the occasion of the unveiling of the monument to Prince Albert in the marketplace in Coburg. The statue occupies centre stage in Coburg, the town in which he was born and raised before his marriage to Queen Victoria propelled him on to a bigger stage. A detail on the statue testifies to that wider role: underneath his right arm are the plans for Crystal Palace and the Great Exhibition of 1851.
