Copied from the transcription made here, which states "Concerning the 169 sculptures on the podium the “Historical Summary” states that these represent" (followed by the list below). This appears to be saying that the list is a direct transcription from the official source mentioned here: "The subjects are listed in the official history." (ref to "N.M. pp. 65–90."), where "N.M." is "The National Memorial to His Royal Highness the Prince Consort, 1873."
I've copied the list below, added spaces after initials, removed final periods, and provided a wikilinked version next to the original. I intend to redo the wikilinks to point to the articles that I think are about the people listed here, and also create redirects as needed. Carcharoth ( talk) 10:39, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

"The records indicate comparatively little discussion of the subject-matter of Scott's 'frieze' of reliefs. Its affinity to Delaroche's Hémicycle des Beaux Arts in the École des Beaux Arts was avowed by Scott himself." - anyone know what "Delaroche's Hémicycle des Beaux Arts in the École des Beaux Arts" is? Ah, Hippolyte Delaroche is the one. And Hippolyte Delaroche#The Hémicycle is helpful in explaining this. Carcharoth ( talk) 17:33, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

The following are those from the frieze that are still redlinks or disambiguation pages with no article or are otherwise uncertain.
Last four are disambiguation pages. Use Google to find their first names. Carcharoth ( talk) 06:33, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
Just as an aside - the R. Courcy is an architect and not at all the Richard de Courcy linked here. I've fixed the redlink. Ealdgyth - Talk 00:58, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
I visited the Albert Memorial yesterday and took plenty of photos (more detailed images of the freises as well as a couple of the whole monument itself. I do like the old one though so I'm not sure if they are better than the existing one. Just different. I'll upload them today and let you decide. Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 12:02, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

The section on the statue includes the following sentence:
"Albert is shown looking south, towards the Royal Albert Hall from which the architectural form of the memorial as a whole should not be considered as being intentionally isolated, it having a particular connection as a result of the location, relating to the 'World's Fair' in which the Prince was directly involved and as shown in the contemporary maps of the Ordnance Survey, including in particular the still continuing element known as the 'Battle of the Scales' (metric and imperialist scales), there being a further statue of the Prince at the south side of the Royal Albert Hall."
This is unclear. Could someone who understands it please rewrite it? I would love to know what it means! Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 27.33.12.65 ( talk) 13:15, 1 February 2019 (UTC)
