Prince Albert (1819-1861) was the husband of Queen Victoria. Born in Bavaria, he was the younger son of the Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. He was known for his interest in social reform and his active interest in the arts, science, trade and industry led to the 1851 Great Exhibition and the establishment of the South Kensington museums. Rackham (1935) identifies this figure as of a type made chiefly by Sampson Smith, and Woolliscroft lists a similar figure (but with different base) as attributed to the factory. Sampson Smith is listed in contemporary directories as a ‘manufacturer of figures in great variety’ in Longton and seems to have begun making figures around 1851. But Sampson Smith figures were rarely marked, and although this group shares the gilt script title and mainly flat back of other figures identified as Sampson Smith, the modelling of the figures seems less ‘solid’ and the rectangular base and addition of subsidiary mouldings are untypical. There were many other, often smaller, manufacturers of figures working in Staffordshire at this time. The alliance of France, England and Turkey against the Russia Empire in the Crimean War was a popular source for Staffordshire figures. This group appeared in a number of different editions , clearly made by several different Staffordshire potters. It may have been made to celebrate the state visit of Napoleon III to Britain, in April 1855, the reciprocal visit by Victoria and Albert to Paris, later that year, or the successful conclusion to the war in 1856. Given the Staffordshire potters’ penchant for celebrating those who championed social reform, it perhaps also sought to recognise Albert’s appointment as ‘prince consort’ in 1857. reference term-109672 adlib-term-109672 a788e98b-c8a4-313c-9617-1a812228e864 19th Century, Mid reference term-15214 adlib-term-15214 744af2c4-a2f2-37ad-bbf4-2cd00e91ed9b Victorian reference term-107658 adlib-term-107658 824d3ecf-92c1-33aa-8d45-2f0239317270 literal England England country Staffordshire reference term-107611 adlib-term-107611 790e5a19-a186-34d5-a16e-2d8dff9f6247 white earthenware reference term-107733 adlib-term-107733 00160189-e3ce-3796-a88b-5aa8d6c808c4 lead-glaze Depth cm 7.5 Depth in 3 Height cm 36 Height in 14.25 Width cm 19 Width cm 7.5 reference media-34057 adlib-media-34057 0a985af7-570b-39c6-8693-d62f62dc9827 jpeg aa/aa2/C_1026_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1702926369338 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/mid_C_1026_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1702926369338 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/C_1026_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1702926369338 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/preview_C_1026_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1702926369338 1 image 0 media image reference media-34058 adlib-media-34058 c2ac12b0-9115-3890-9451-ec05177a0a33 jpeg aa/aa2/C_1026_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1702926522416 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/mid_C_1026_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1702926522416 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/C_1026_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1702926522416 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/preview_C_1026_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1702926522416 1 image 1 media image reference term-110220 adlib-term-110220 e22d3544-a393-3f19-9be4-dc2632ca9942 figure group object name reference term-130674 adlib-term-130674 2728ba11-801b-318a-8f24-c6f4b99f08e3 Victorian Staffordshire figure category reference term-130678 adlib-term-130678 c683fbc6-ba3a-3ab1-b2f5-41493ff3588d flat-backed figure category history note Harrods’ Stores, antique department, London; bought on 20 May 1909 for 25 shillings by Dr Glaisher, Trinity College, Cambridge. 1 reference object-71187 adlib-object-71187 016d0b87-7113-321e-bfda-37e9176d8077
