EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print showcases the Regalia of Scotland: Jewel of St. Andrew, dating back to 1850. The image, published in the Illustrated London News that year, offers a glimpse into the rich history and symbolism of Scotland's regal heritage. At the heart of this exquisite piece lies the Order of St. Andrew, intricately carved on an onyx stone and adorned with diamonds. The badge of the Order of the Thistle, which forms part of the original Garter Jewel, is also depicted in the print. The onyx cameo of St. Andrew, with its influence from the Italian Baroque, is estimated to be early eighteenth century French or Italian in origin. The setting of the stone, displaying St. Andrew, likely replaced an earlier representation of St. George. The onyx cameo of St. Andrew, with its intricate carving and enameling, is a testament to the skillful craftsmanship of the time. The image highlights the precious stones, diamonds, and metals used in the regalia, as well as the intricate engraving and gold detailing. The print also reveals the location of the regalia, which holds significant religious and royal significance for the people of Scotland. The Order of St. Andrew, established in 1329, is Scotland's oldest chivalric order, founded in honor of the country's patron saint. The Thistle, Scotland's national flower, is a symbol of courage and bravery, reflecting the martyrdom of St. Andrew, who is believed to have been martyred on a cross formed from the X-shaped branch of a thistle. This photograph print offers a unique glimpse into the history, culture, and symbolism of Scotland, providing a fascinating window into the past.
