Abstract

In Chapter 1, I discussed the different kinds of treacherous object which were explicit in their references to Jacobite loyalty: those produced abroad or after the last Rising; hidden objects not for use in communication; relics; objects and décor produced for use in core Jacobite areas and weapons. Although this book is primarily concerned with the use of objects, décor, cant and code to communicate the currency of outlawed memory beyond text and the reach of prosecution, it would be inappropriate not to pay some attention to the more explicit messages and iconography of Jacobite objects in these more overt categories. Of these, medals (including touch-pieces) were the most widespread.
