Prince Albert Hand-painted on Porcelain Plaque 1879 Minton The Victoria & Albert Museum |
The portrait has been recreated on an oval porcelain plaque by Minton and Company. Interestingly, this is one of several such plaques which were hand-painted by female students at Minton who were learning their trade. This would have greatly pleased the Prince who was much interested in education and particularly in the education of Britain’s young ladies.
