Maquette of the Prince Albert memorial, Kensington Gardens

Glass plate negative of a maquette relating to the Prince Albert memorial in Kensington Gardens. It shows a view of 'Agriculture', submitted for one of the four innermost allegorical programmes of the monument representing four groups of Victorian industrial arts and sciences (agriculture, commerce, engineering and manufacturing). It seems that the minor changes were made in the executed version.

William Calder Marshall's (1813-1894) surname appears on the base.

The glass plate negative has been photographed showing the coated side and therefore the image appears laterally reversed. Prints form this negative do not seem to exist in the Collection.
