EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, consort of Queen Victoria, in an elaborate fancy dress costume as King Edward III, which he donned for a grand costume ball held on 12 May 1842. The 1840s were a time of great fascination with medievalism and the Middle Ages, and Prince Albert, known for his intellectual pursuits and love of history, embraced the trend with enthusiasm. The intricately designed costume faithfully replicates the regal attire of King Edward III, who ruled England from 1327 to 1377. The prince's outfit includes a heavy velvet cloak, adorned with heraldic designs and fringes, a richly embroidered coat of arms on his chest, and a sword at his side. The crown on his head, with its ornate gothic style and fleur-de-lis decorations, adds to the authenticity of the costume. The photograph, taken circa 1842, showcases the prince's commitment to historical accuracy and his passion for the medieval era. The image is a testament to the opulence and grandeur of the Victorian era, where such events provided an escape from the daily routine and allowed individuals to indulge in the richness of history and fantasy. The photograph's retro aesthetic, with its dark background and sharp focus on the prince, highlights the intricacies of the costume and the prince's regal presence. The image is a beautiful example of the ornate and heraldic designs that were popular during the Victorian era and continues to captivate viewers with its timeless appeal.
