Senior Librarian Anna Welch unboxes two exquisite items from our rare books collection. Both have detailed embroidered bindings and mysterious backstories. Some detective work from Anna reveals that the larger volume was most likely a gift to Queen Henrietta Maria from King Charles 1 and features some serious book bling! The smaller pocket-sized volume is a copy of the Eikon Basilike or 'Image of The King', a purported spiritual biography of King Charles 1 that was carried surreptitiously by royalists after Charles' execution by the parliament in 1649.
