Beeldengroep aan de voet van het Albert Memorial in Londen: Azië 1878 - 1890

This photographic print by Francis Godolphin Osbourne Stuart, taken between 1878 and 1890, captures one of the four sculptural groups that surround the Albert Memorial in London. Entitled "Asia," the sculpture depicts a woman seated on an elephant, representing the continent of Asia. The group also includes figures representing China, India, and Persia. Stuart's artwork embodies a Victorian-era fascination with the Orient, portraying a romanticized view of diverse cultures within the British Empire. This image, with its intricate details and monumental scale, is a testament to the artistry and historical significance of the Albert Memorial, a grand tribute to Prince Albert.
