Description
The Prince Albert Statue is an equestrian statue located in Queen Square, Wolverhampton, and was created in 1866 by T. Thorneycroft. It features a bronze statue mounted on a granite plinth. The rectangular plinth, which stands on two steps, has mouldings beneath rusticated panels, and the plain top displays inscriptions that read: "ALBERT : PRINCE CONSORT : BORN 1819/DIED 1861 : ERECTED BY SUBSCRIPTION/INAUGURATED BY THE QUEEN NOVEMBER 1866." The statue depicts Albert in military uniform, seated on a standing horse. This inauguration is noted to have been Queen Victoria's first public engagement following Albert's death.
