Mary Queen of Scots Wardrobe Unlock’d

Posted on August 1, 2018 by Trystan L. Bass
1586 - Mary Queen of Scots, miniature at the Rijksmuseum

This is the presentation to accompany the lecture I gave at Costume College 2018. The topic was a look at the documented images of Mary Queen of Scots from her lifetime and her wardrobe inventories of 1556-1569.

In addition to many online images and those from my personal collection used in this class, I also maintain a Pinterest board of authentic contemporary portraits of Mary Queen of Scots.
