EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the front of a mourning brooch dedicated to Prince Albert of Naples. Created by an English School in the 18th century, this poignant piece is now housed in the National Museum of the Royal Navy in Portsmouth, Hampshire, UK. The brooch was crafted as a tribute following the tragic passing of Prince Albert at just six years old. He met his untimely demise aboard HMS Vanguard after fleeing from Naples during the wars with France. This somber artifact serves as a reminder of both personal loss and historical turmoil. Exquisitely designed, this brooch features intricate locks and delicate jewelry details that highlight its significance. The inclusion of hair adds an intimate touch, symbolizing remembrance and eternal connection. Through this image, we are transported back in time to witness not only a precious work of art but also a tangible representation of grief and commemoration for a young prince taken too soon. It stands as evidence that even amidst war-torn times, humanity still finds solace in preserving memories through objects like this mourning brooch. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts and their collaboration with eNational Museum of the Royal Navy, we can appreciate this historical treasure today while honoring Prince Albert's memory for generations to come.
