Miniatures of Prince Charles Edward Stuart

Jacobite

Three examples of portraits after the engraving by Robert Strange (1721 -1792). Strange’s engraving was based on the Allan Ramsay (1713 – 1784) portrait of Prince Edward Stuart painted in Edinburgh in 1745. Miniatures like these were copied and widely distributed among Jacobite supporters in the 18th century. The museum has a few examples of different variations of the portrait by Strange. The images are important examples of Jacobite material culture.
