The Albert Memorial
is situated in Kensington Gardens, London, England, directly to the north of the Royal Albert Hall.
It was commissioned by Queen Victoria in memory of her beloved husband, Prince Albert who died of typhoid in 1861.
The memorial was designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott in the Gothic Revival style.
Allegorical sculptures
At the corners of the central area, and at the corners of the outer area of the Albert Memorial, there are two allegorical sculpture programs: four groups depicting Victorian industrial arts and sciences (agriculture, commerce, engineering and manufacturing), and four more groups representing Europe, Asia, Africa and The Americas at the four corners, each continent-group including several ethnographic figures and a large animal. (A camel for Africa, a bison for the Americas, an elephant for Asia and a bull for Europe.)
