Description: | Black and white engraving of Mary Queen of Scots wearing a black veil, from a half-length portrait in Holyrood Palace.
"This is one of a large number of images of the Stuart dynasty in general in the university collection. These images attest to Stuart Royal patronage of King's College and later to the prolonged Jacobite sympathies of both King's and Marischal Colleges. In particular there are a large number of images, particularly engravings, of Mary, reflecting her role as one of the cast of 'hero' figures from Scottish history in whom much of nineteenth century Scottish identity was invested. William Home Lizars (1788-1859), engraver and painter, trained at Trustees Academy, Edinburgh under John Graham in company with David Wilkie. Turned increasingly to engraving becoming leading practitioner in Scotland responsible for numerous high profile projects. (Engravings of Audobon's 'Birds of America', 'Honours of Scotland')."
