Description
Complete set of 7 engravings of the Stuart monarchs of Scotland (James I to James VI, with Mary Queen of Scots), late 17th century, each c.33 x 24cm, loose, and prints of Charles I and Charles II (making 9 in all) by James Clark (9)
Footnote
Note: The seven prints of earlier Stuart monarchs are re-issues of engravings from around 1602 (date assigned by the National Portrait Gallery, London, which lacks James III). The copper plates used to produce these prints appear to have been pierced top centre as if for decorative hanging. The prints of Charles I and II originate from the late 17th century.
