Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book began life as an idea to honor the late Prince Albert, consort to Queen Victoria. A grand monument was designed and erected in his memory. It's a beautiful stone masterpiece, carefully crafted with bronze and marble, and adorned with life-like statues and finely etched details. The monument stands in Charlotte Square in Edinburgh, Scotland, and was unveiled by Queen Victoria in 1876. This book tells the story behind the monument and the life of Prince Albert, an intelligent man passionate about the arts and sciences. A great believer in education as the path to equality, the prince was President of the Great Exhibition of 1851 - one of the first world fairs. This insightful book provides a great snapshot into the life of a great man and the commemorative structure built to honor his vision and contributions to his country.
