Statue of the late Prince Consort, at Balmoral, by W. Theed, 1864. 'As a memorial of...[Prince Albert's] attachment to the Scottish Highlands, and his predilection for the sports of deerstalking and grouse-shooting...which cannot but be gratifying to the Scottish portion of her Majesty's subjects, we have engraved a representation of Mr. Theed's marble statue of that lamented Prince, lately placed in the corridor of Balmoral Castle. He appears here in the Highland costume, equipped for the chase, and accompanied by his favourite deer-hound. The fidelity of the likeness, as well as the spirit and grace of the attitude, set off by a manly and romantic fashion of dress, will sufficiently recommend this statue'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864.
