Obelisk at Balmoral erected by the Tenantry & others in memory of the Prince Consort.

Photograph of an obelisk on the Balmoral estate. The obelisk is positioned at the end of a path, bordered by a garden. There is a forested area surrounding the obelisk and garden.

The obelisk was erected in 1862 in memory of Prince Albert (1819-61) who died in December 1861. This photograph is a later carbon copy of the original albumen photograph. Carbon was a process that was less susceptible to fading, unlike an albumen print that is prone to discolouration over time.
