Consolidated catalogue of 1695: The Book of the Junior Proctor (MacGregor, ed.) [Addendum 6] Mr. Crynes's account of the Feather-piece which he
left to the Museum . This Mexican Feather-piece was given to Mrs. Margaret Dawson (one of the
Gentlewomen of the Bedchamber to Mary of
Modena , wife of King James the
Second , as her nephew said; & as appears by the printed
depositions on the birth of the Prince of Wales) by the said Queen Mary . Mrs Dawson left it by will to her nephew Dr. Harrison of All Souls, after whose
death I bought it. N. Crynes
Mr. John Shippen told me he saw five
pictures of the same kind in the King of Spain's Cabinet (I think) at the
Escurial.
