Scotland – the Highland Rebellion 1745 group of approx 13 printed Acts of Parliament 1745 and later dealing with the Highland Rebellion of 1745/46^ which sought to place Charles Edward Stuart ‘Bonnie Prince Charlie’ on the throne (and which almost succeeded). The group includes the important Act for disarming the Highlands and also the Act relating to the banning of the Highland Dress^ and there are also specific Acts of Attainder for High Treason against leading Jacobites including Lord George Murray (the main Jacobite General)^ Lord Lovat^ the Duke of Athol and many others – most of whom were hanged. Another Act deals with ensuring that some of the lesser rebels who were transported to the American colonies would never be allowed to return. The Highland Rebellion of 1745 is one of the major events of British history and long stays in the memory of both the Scots and the English – giving rise to many popular myths of the young Scottish Prince desperately trying to regain the throne of his Stuart line – and coming to such a terrible end at the battle of Culloden in April 1746 – an event which was to change the whole social history of Scotland for ever.
Lot 551
Original Art a fine postcard sized portrait of a young man in Victorian highland dress set in a highland landscape^ showing him seated^ looking sternly to his right and with his rifle to his side. It has been suggested that this is a portrait of John Brown^ the faithful highland servant to Queen Victoria^ and is possibly an over painting of a photograph. It has also been suggested that this is an early portrait of the Prince of Wales (later Edward VII) though it appears to us to resemble Brown. It is in any event exquisitely executed and the colours are bright. It is framed and bears the label of C E Clifford^ artists’ colourman. Charles Edward Clifford (1823-?95) began life as an artists’ colourman^ but later branched into photography and picture restoration – see National Portrait Gallery archives.
