Albert Memorial (View 1) Poets: A Glimpse into the Literary Past of Kensington Gardens This photograph, taken in the late 1890s, offers a unique perspective of the Albert Memorial in Kensington Gardens, London. The image focuses on the poets' side of the memorial, where a series of figures are depicted, each lost in thought as they hold or play musical instruments. The figure in the foreground, with a lyre in hand, adds an ethereal touch to the scene. The Albert Memorial, built between 1863 and 1872, is a grand tribute to Prince Albert, the consort of Queen Victoria. Designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott, the memorial is a masterpiece of Victorian Gothic Revival architecture. The memorial's intricate details, including the poets, are a testament to the artistic and literary influences that shaped the era. The poets depicted on the memorial represent various literary greats, including Shakespeare, Milton, and Tennyson. Their presence serves as a reminder of the significant role literature played in Victorian society. The lantern on the side of the memorial adds a sense of mystery and intrigue, inviting viewers to explore the hidden corners of the memorial and delve deeper into its rich history. This photograph, part of the Boswell Collection in London Streets, provides a rare glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and significance of the Albert Memorial and the literary figures it honors. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the literary and artistic world of the late 1800s.
