Alfred Ernest Albert, known as Prince Alfred, led a remarkable life filled with significant events and achievements. Born in 1844, he was the second son of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. One of the most notable moments in his life was "The Marriage of The Duke of Edinburgh with The Grand Duchess Marie Alexandrovna, " which took place in 1874. Throughout his life, Prince Alfred was captured by talented artists and photographers who immortalized him through their works. In 1856, Day & Sons lithography workshop created a stunning portrait titled "Prince Alfred. " Another renowned artist named John Jabez Edwin Mayall also depicted him around 1860. The Royal Mint commissioned L C Wyon to create portraits of the royal children on behalf of Queen Victoria herself. These engravings showcased the young prince's charm and innocence during his childhood years. Tragedy struck when Queen Victoria entered a period of mourning after her beloved husband's death in 1861. A poignant photograph entitled "Queen Victoria in Mourning" by William Samuel Bambridge captures this somber moment. Amidst these personal milestones, Prince Alfred had an eye for beauty and luxury. An unknown creator crafted a magnificent silver-gilt wine cooler at Windsor Castle in 1844 that surely caught his attention. Religion played an important role in Prince Alfred's life as well. He was christened at the Private Chapel located within Windsor Castle back in 1844—an event that marked his entry into faith under royal auspices. Innovation fascinated him too; hence he visited The Electric Telegraph Station at Slough in 1844—a testament to his curiosity about technological advancements during that era. Prince Alfred also had a strong sense of duty towards public service like other members of the royal family. He laid the Foundation Stone for the new Eddystone Lighthouse while holding the title "The Prince of Wales. " As time went on, more artistic representations of Prince Alfred emerged.
