It is one of London's most elaborate monuments, designed by George Gilbert Scott. Divulged in 1872, The Albert Memorial commemorates the demise of Prince Albert, Queen Victoria's husband, who kicked the bucket of typhoid fever at 42 years old. Impacted by the series of thirteenth Century Eleanor Crosses (Charing Cross perhaps being the most famous) and different statues in Edinburgh and Manchester, the Albert Memorial in Kensington Gardens is one of the perfect high-Victorian gothic extravaganzas anyplace. Formally named the Prince Consort National Memorial, it celebrates Victorian accomplishment and Prince Albert's passions and interests. The dedication shows Prince Albert holding the inventory of the Great Exhibition, held in Hyde Park in 1851, which he inspired and assisted with getting sorted out. Marble figures representing Europe, Asia, Africa and America stand at each side of the commemoration, and higher up are further figures representing fabricate, trade, agribusiness and designing. However further up, close to the top, are plated bronze statues of the angels and virtues. All around the base of the commemoration the Parnassus frieze depicts poet’s sculptors, commended painters, architects and musicians, mirroring Albert's passion for the arts. There are 187 exquisitely cut figures in the frieze.
