Embroidered Picture Britain, 1860 The Victoria & Albert Museum |
The entire piece has been embroidered in wool tent-stitch and Berlin Woolwork on canvas. The young Prince is dressed in traditional Scottish attire. It was around this time that Queen Victoria and Prince Albert began to realize that their eldest son was no intellectual, and that he much preferred just about anything else to education.
Also seen here is one of Prince Albert’s dogs, who, by all accounts, the Queen probably preferred to the company of her adult son.
