Gallery›Royal Collection Trust›This record describes the detail of the measurements of the image behind the void for the watch of Ernest I, Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha / The object is a case that opens to form a watch-holder. It contains four daguerreotypes, after portraits of Prince Albert by Sir William Ross; another after a painting of Duke Ernest I of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha; another after a painting of Queen Victoria by Sir William Ross; the fourth after a painting of Albert Edward, Prince of Wales, by F.X. Winterhalter. See the other entries relating to this case for images and details of the other daguerreotypes. The depiction of three generations within the same object accompanied by a short family tree is appropriate for a watch holder - an item that is associated with the passage of time. This item probably belonged to Prince Albert.

Unusual decorative effect of jewellery possibly created by punched impressions on the plate surface. However, no copper shows beneath, so possibly a solid silver plate has been used? Case embossed with name: PRETLOVE

Portrait of Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. / Queen Victoria attended the first London performance given by the Swedish soprano Jenny Lind on the 4th of May 1847. She described the occasion in her journal: 'The great event of the evening however was Jenny Lind's appearance & her complete triumph. She has the most exquisite, powerful, & really quite peculiar voice'. She later sang among the choristers at the wedding of the Prince of Wales in St George's Chapel in 1863. Kilburn exhibited several daguerreotypes at the Great Exhibition, with this image being particularly well received. The exhibition jury commented: 'For novelty of design we may mention a small picture of the interior of a room, including a whole-length portrait of Jenny Lind: beside, and near her, is a large mirror, in which the figure is reflected. That the reflection in the glass is equally perfect with the original is the point worthy of remark and commendation'. The daguerreotype was also reproduced with significant cropping in carte-de-visite format, such as in the example today kept at the Victoria & Albert Museum, London (Museum Number S.138:66-2007).
