EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the legitimacy of the Jacobite succession through a silver medal dating back to around 1731. The image features two prominent figures in this historical narrative: Bonnie Prince Charlie, also known as Charles Edward Stuart, and Prince Henry Benedict Stuart. Charles Edward Stuart, born on December 31st, 1720, was famously referred to as The Young Pretender and The Young Chevalier before earning the endearing moniker Bonnie Prince Charlie. As the second Jacobite pretender to the thrones of England, Scotland, France, and Ireland, his claim to royalty is depicted with regal elegance in this portrait. Prince Henry Benedict Stuart (March 6th, 1725 - July 13th, 1807), portrayed alongside Bonnie Prince Charlie in this silver medal artwork by an English School from the 18th century. He held significant importance as a Roman Catholic Cardinal and became the fourth and final Jacobite heir seeking recognition for his right to rule over England, Scotland, France, and Ireland. The profile view emphasizes their noble lineage while highlighting their distinct personalities. This numismatic treasure not only captures their physical likeness but also symbolizes their place within history's royal tapestry. As we delve into this remarkable piece of artistry from Bridgeman Images' Timothy Millett Collection; it offers us a glimpse into an era defined by political intrigue and dynastic ambitions. It serves as a testament to these men's unwavering determination to assert their rightful claims amidst
