Green velvet binding with Prince Albert's name tooled in gold on the front board.
The German inscription on the inside cover of this prayer book states that it was given to Prince Albert to commemorate his wedding day by his ever-loving aunt, Victoria. It was written by Victoria, Duchess of Kent, who was both Prince Albert's aunt and new mother-in-law. A tiny gold shield on the back is engraved with the date of the wedding, 10 February 1840. The two clasped hands, which form the fastening, serve as a reminder of the joining of hands in the marriage ceremony.
Text adapted from Victoria & Albert: Art & Love, London, 2010.Provenance
Presented to Prince Albert on 10 February 1840 by the Duchess of Kent on the occasion of his marriage to Queen Victoria
