But take a look before you dismiss it. Not only is it the history of one of the most significant British monuments and its recent restoration, but it also includes coverage of Prince Albert's life; the artistic, archetectural and engineering context in which the monument was designed and built; and a discussion of the social and cultural values that prevailled in the mid-19th century.Above all, it provides a fascinating pictorial insight into Victorian England, using photographs, cartoons from Punch and the London Illustrated News, lithographs, architectural plans and paintings to accompany the text, written by a team of art and architectural historians, curators and some of those directly involved in the monument's restoration. An unusual but fascinating and stylish gift for anyone interested in Victorian culture and creativity.
