EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the Prince Consort's Cairn, a monument of loose stones erected in memory of the late Prince Albert, on the north side of the Dee near Abergeldie in 1864. The image showcases the picturesque Scottish Highlands near Balmoral, with fir trees framing the hill where Queen Victoria herself laid the first stone in 1862.
The engraving from "Illustrated London News" provides a glimpse into a bygone era, showcasing not only a physical memorial to Prince Albert but also highlighting the natural beauty of the landscape. The remote location and rugged terrain add to the sense of reverence and solemnity surrounding this historic site.
As we gaze upon this timeless scene captured over a century ago, we are reminded of both human craftsmanship and nature's enduring presence. The waterfall cascading nearby adds an element of movement and life to an otherwise tranquil setting.
This print serves as a poignant reminder of history and heritage, inviting us to reflect on those who have come before us and left their mark on the world. It is a testament to love, loss, and remembrance that transcends time itself.
