Légende

Mary Queen of Scots' Room at Holyrood, 1850. Interior of the royal Palace of Holyrood, Edinburgh, Scotland. 'The ceiling, as far as the moulded compartments are concerned, is in its original character...The compartments...are of diamond and hexagonal form, the diamond spaces containing circles, whence issue four sceptres, the circles having "J.R." and "M. R." in them alternately. The hexagons are ornamented by painted borders, with the St. Andrew's Cross, St. George's Cross, the portcullis, the harp, the rose, and the crests of England and Scotland...The bedstead, covered with red damask, is of the middle of the 17th century...The doorway having portion of the tapestry drawn on one side, leads into the little room in which Mary sat with Rizzio at supper, when Darnley, Douglas, and the armed confederates seized the unhappy man and assassinated him'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
