after Robert Strange, the half-length portrait of Prince Charles in tartan jacket with blue sash for the Order of the Garter and wearing blue bonnet and white cockade, in modern white card mount (Portrait 6.5cm diameter) Note: It would appear this portrait originally formed part of a hidden portrait snuff box and would have been concealed either to the interior of a box on under a false cover. This is further backed up by a mid-19th century manuscript note which accompanies the box which reads “Prince Charles Edward Stuart’s picture, discovered concealed in the lid of an old snuff box about 1815, probably 70 years after it was placed in the box for concealment as the box originally belonged to a Jacobite family, J. Linning Stirling 1840’ the label is also noted “M.L.Melville Esq / This belongs to you / J. Linning / Stirling 8 th Sept. / 1853” and on an alter attached section “came to Mrs Janet Linning through her mother E. Wilson & aunts (Wilson) the Jacobite ladles: probably through their Haldane mother, grandmother or relation who were all ardent Jacobites”
