ELIZABETH & MARY - British Library Exhibition

Some of my favourite items on display at the exhibition - I was so pleased to see that portrait of Robert Dudley there! I’m only slightly embarrassed to say I might have squealed when I saw it. And of course, Elizabeth’s ring was breathtaking to see in real life. I couldn’t believe how incredibly tiny it was! You have to marvel at the skill of whoever it was who had to essentially carve out portraits that tiny.
