Prince Albert the British Farmer, 1843
Prince Albert the British Farmer, 1843. Cartoon of Prince Albert (1819-1861) as a farmer.

Prince Albert the British Farmer, 1843 - A Satirical Tribute to Prince Albert's Agricultural Endeavors
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print from 1843 depicts a humorous caricature of Prince Albert (1819-1861) as a farmer. Created by an unknown artist and featured in Punch or The London Charivari magazine, this illustration showcases the prince consort's newfound passion for promoting agriculture. In this satirical portrayal, Prince Albert is seen dressed in rustic attire, wearing a smock and a top hat. He stands confidently amidst his farmyard, surrounded by various animals including cows and chickens. A milkmaid can be spotted milking one of the cows nearby while birds flutter around the scene. The image captures Sir Robert Peel's speech at Tamworth on October 2nd, 1843, where he praises Prince Albert's dedication to farming. Peel commends the prince consort for his successful stock sale and emphasizes his contribution to British agriculture. With its monochrome aesthetic and intricate engraving technique, this print offers a glimpse into rural life during the nineteenth century. It portrays not only Prince Albert's role as a farmer but also highlights his marriage to Queen Victoria and their shared interest in promoting agricultural advancements. This fascinating piece serves as both political satire and historical documentation of an important era in British history when royalty took an active interest in farming practices. It celebrates Prince Albert as not just a monarch but also as an innovative figure contributing to the development of rural communities.
