Snuff box with a miniature portrait of Prince Charles Edward Stewart

This snuff box has a miniature portrait of Prince Charles Edward Stewart on the underside of the lid.

The iron box has reddish-brown enamel decoration and silver mounts. The portrait of the Prince is under glass.

By the Prince's death in 1788 the threat of an armed Jacobite insurrection was unthinkable. The cause soon became the subject of romantic nostalgia, expressed through poetry and song as well as objects and relics.
