A talk exploring Mary Queen of Scots's material legacy and visual symbolism
Speakers:
‣ Emma Slocombe, Senior National Curator, Dress Textiles, National Trust
‣ Liz Rose, Textile Conservator, British Library
In this inspiring online talk, National Trust's Senior Dress and Textiles Curator, Emma Slocombe focuses on the needlework panels worked by Mary between 1569-1587. Mary produced a vast number of needlework panels using contemporary published illustrations as source material and thirty-seven mounted examples, which comprise what is known as the ‘Marian Hanging’.
These needlework panels are part of the British Library's major exhibition, ‘Elizabeth & Mary: Royal Cousins, Rival Queens’ which runs until 20th February 2022. The talk continues with a brief behind-the-scenes presentation on the exhibition by British Library’s Textile Conservator, Liz Rose.
