A manuscript presented by His Majesty the late King George VI as a memento of the Royal Visit of 15 July 1937. It is entitled 'The Princes of Wales of the Blood Royal of England With Their Armorial Ensigns deduced from MCCLXXXIV to His Royal Highness George-Augustus Frederick Prince of Wales Regent of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland MDCCCXI'. The volume is the work of Sir George Nayler, York Herald and Genealogist of the Bath, who subsequently became Clarenceux king-of-arms and Garter king-of-arms. It is very finely executed on vellum, and consists of brief biographical sketches of sixteen Princes of Wales, beginning with Edward of Caernarvon (afterwards Edward II) and ending with George-Augustus Frederick (afterwards George IV). On the leaf following each sketch is the coat of arms, emblazoned in tinctures, of the Prince of Wales to whom the preceding text relates. On the leaves immediately following the coat of arms of Edward, the Black Prince, are illuminated drawings of his tomb in Canterbury Cathedral and of the Prince of Wales's crest, - three ostrich feathers with the motto 'Ich Dien'. Edward, the son of Henry VIII, who afterwards became Edward VI, has been omitted from the series, and a sheet of paper of later date than the manuscript, on which biographical data relating to him have been written, is loose in the volume. It is decorated on the upper cover with a shield inlaid in black on which are superimposed the Prince of Wales's feathers inlaid on white and outlined and feathered in gold, and which is surrounded by a design, in blind and gold, copied from that on the tomb of the Black Prince in Canterbury Cathedral. The same design, without the shield and feathers, is repeated on the lower cover. On the spine, in gold, are one-line panels and the following lettering - 'The Princes of Wales. Nayler . . . 1811', while the inside borders are also of one-line gilt panels. His Majesty the King has autographed the volume on the first fly-leaf - 'George R. I. July 15th. 1937'.
