Illustrated book tells the story of Prince Albert's life with particular reference to his work. It shows him as family man, private collector, patron, landowner, and private secretary to his wife, Queen Victoria. He was passionately interested in education - in the arts and the sciences - and his enthusiasm for reform extended to the army, the universe, the universities, learned societies and housing and conditions of ordinary families.
