Plate presented by H. S. H. Prince Albert to the Eleventh Hussars, 1844. Creator: Unknown
Plate presented by H.S.H. Prince Albert to the Eleventh Hussars, 1844. On a pedestal of polished black marble, with silver scroll mouldings, borders, and feet, stands an exquisitely designed figure of his Royal Highness [Prince Albert] in full uniform as Colonel of the 11th Hussars, mounted on his favourite Arab charger, in an attitude at once natural and graceful. The likeness of the Prince and the conteur of his figure are most faithfully preserved, whilst the action of the horse is extremely fine and spirited. The tout ensemble is most striking; the gorgeous decorations of the uniform and horse trappings, and all the minutiae of military equipment, are given in the solid silver with
surprising accuracy and effect. The entire height is about two and a half feet. On a silver plate...is the simple inscription, " Presented to the 11th Hussars by their late Colonel, Prince Albert, Februarv, 1814"...this elaborate work reflects the greatest credit on the designer, Mr, Cotterell, the eminent sculptor, and Mr. Garrard, of Panton-street, Haymarket, to whom the execution of the design was entrusted. From " Illustrated London News", 1844, Vol I
