1. Title: The Privy Purse of Catherine of Braganza at Sizergh Hall, Westmorland (1862) This engraving, published in the Illustrated London News in 1862, showcases the Privy Purse of Catherine of Braganza, an intriguing historical artifact that has been preserved among the heirlooms of the Strickland family at Sizergh Hall in Westmorland, England. The Privy Purse was an essential item of regalia for the Queen Dowager Catherine of Braganza (1638-1705), the Portuguese princess who married King Charles II of England in 1662. This crimson velvet pouch, shaped and sized like a large reticule, is richly embroidered with the Royal arms and the initials C.R. in gold and silver twist. It was the badge of office belonging to Sir Thomas Strickland, Keeper of her Privy Purse. The Privy Purse was a vital component of the queen's household, used to store her personal items, including money, sealing wax, and other essentials. The embroidered design on the pouch reflects the grandeur and opulence of the royal court during the seventeenth century. The gold and silver thread work, combined with the heraldic crest, adds to its regal appearance. The textile piece is a testament to the intricate needlework and sewing techniques of the time, showcasing the skill and artistry of the needleworkers. The tassels on the pouch are also noteworthy, adding an elegant touch to the overall design. The Privy Purse of Catherine of Braganza is a fascinating object from the seventeenth century, now preserved and cherished as a valuable heirloom in the Strickland family's collection at Sizergh Hall. This engraving offers a glimpse into the rich history of the British monarchy and the intricacies of royal regalia.
