Base of Albert Memorial, Hyde Park 'Poets and Dramatists'
'Poets and Dramatists', Albert Memorial, Kensington Gardens, Westminster, c. 1890. This relief represents two of the Greek muses depicted as part of the Frieze of Parnassus which surrounds the central base of the monument. The memorial was erected in the 1870s on the instructions of Queen Victoria in honour of her late husband, Prince Albert, who died of typhoid in 1861. A number of architects, led by Sir George Gilbert Scott, and sculptors were involved in the project, which lasted several years.
