Lane, Richard James: H.R.H. Prince Arthur William Patrick Albert. June 1859

On the lithograph, nine year old Prince Arthur (1850–1942) appears in full Highland dress with cap, jacket, kilt, sporran and plaid thrown over his shoulder. He glances wistfully at the viewer. Prince Arthur, Queen Victoria’s third and favourite son, was named after his famous godfather, the Duke of Wellington, the victor over Napoleon. Arthur as well would later take up a military career.
