Glasgow Museums has a collection of over 25 Jacobite and Hanoverian prints, paintings and sculpture, which date from 1645 to 1850. This collection predominantly features portraits of Jacobite and Hanoverian figures, such as Charles I, James VI and I, Charles II, James VII and II, James Frances Edward Stuart, Charles Edward Stuart, George I and George II. Several sculptures are also represented and include a 19th century bust of Charles I, a carved coat of arms for Charles II and a figurine of the Charles Edward Stuart. The Hanoverians succeeded the Stuarts as monarchs of Great Britain in 1714. Jacobitism was a political and military movement that opposed the reigns of King William and Queen Mary, Queen Anne and then the succession of the House of Hanover. It supported the restoration of the Stuart monarchy to the British throne.
