Description: Edinburgh: National Museums of Scotland, 2013. 25cm., pbk., 144pp., 120 color illus. Exhibition catalogue. Summary: This is the first exhibition on the life and times of Mary to bring together objects from a wide variety of media, including jewellery, textiles, furniture, paintings, drawings, maps and documents to illustrate Mary’s story, and the wider world in which she lived. This comprehensive selection of around 200 objects has been drawn from the collections of National Museums Scotland, augmented with many loans from major public collections in Scotland, England and France. To further enrich the exhibition a number of key loans have been drawn from private collections, often from families with direct links to Mary. A large proportion of these loans have never before been on public display in Scotland. The exhibition is divided into nine sections, encompassing episodes in Mary’s life and casting light on the thrilling, and often dangerous, times in which she lived. The introductory area is dominated by a single object: the Blairs Memorial Portrait of Mary, Queen of Scots. One of the most iconic images of Mary, it was commissioned by Elizabeth Curle, one of Mary’s closest companions during the final years of her English captivity. It represents Mary in preparation for her Catholic martyrdom on the executioner’s block.
