Description: | Tiny black and white engraving of a bust portrait of Mary Queen of Scots set in a circular mount
"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. This engraving of the 18th century, neither close to Mary Stuart's life nor part of 19th century Romantic Jacobitism, attests to the continued importance of Mary Stuart as a symbol."
