It will be interesting to study the bibliography and reference notes, if any, in the book, to explore the sources. --Previous Message-- : I was told it's in "the queen's : diamonds" by Roberts !! : : --Previous Message-- : I remember when the information, that Queen : Mary's Diamond Stomacher was made from : diamonds from the Kapurthuala Stomacher, was : released in 2007 by the Royal Collection on : the web-exhibiton. There was much : speculation as to which piece was the : Kapurthuala Stomacher. : : After discussion here on these boards, I : myself dug up that image of Queen Mary and : cropped it down into the image of just the : stomacher, as a suggestion for the possible : Kapurthuala Stomacher. : : This is now the piece that many believe is : the most likely candidate. : : However, there has never been any definitive : proof, either released from the Royal : Collection or a contemporary source, such as : a sketch or detailed description of the : original Kapurthuala Stomacher, that was : presented to the then Duchess of York on : occasion of her wedding in 1893, to give a : completely definitive answer. : : This is just an educated guess. : : We await someone to uncover a contemporary : source, or the Royal Collection to release : information until we can be completely sure : that the stomacher worn by the then Duchess : of Cornwall in that image, is indeed the : Kapurthuala Stomacher. : : : : --Previous Message-- : This is the Kapurthala stomacher ! : : : : Uploaded with ImageShack.us : : --Previous Message-- : It is unclear which of the stomachers that : Queen Mary wore was the Karpurthala : Stomacher. : : My belief is that is it this stomacher, : which has not been seen since it was worn by : the then Duchess of Cornwall; and is thus a : likely candidate for being broken up. : : : : : : : : : : : : :
