Sir Thomas More's seals, 1862. Creator: Unknown
Sir Thomas More's seals, 1862. We are enabled to present to our readers Engravings of the seals of Sir Thomas More. The larger one is of silver, bearing his arms and crest, and an inscription. The smaller one - his private seal - is engraved on cornelian, and bears on the scroll around the shield the inscription Christiano Catholico R, and below the R, on the end of the scroll, which is bent back, the name of More. These seals, together with the "George, " and a gold relieved pectoral cross, and the hat and cap of Sir Thomas More, were given to the English College at Liege by Father Thomas More, the last male descendant of Sir Thomas, who was Provincial of the English Province of the Society of Jesus at the suppression of the order. When the college was transferred from Liege to Stonyhurst, in 1794, these relics of Sir Thomas More, together with many other valuable objects of historical interest and art, were brought over, and are now carefully preserved in the College Museum. At the present moment, by the kindness of the Rector of the College, they are on view at the Special Art Exhibition at South Kensington'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862

EDITORS COMMENTS
great photograph showcasing Sir Thomas More's seals, captured in 1862. The larger silver seal displays More's coat of arms, crest, and an inscription, while the smaller cornelian seal bears the inscription "Christiano Catholico R" and the name "More" below. These precious seals, along with a gold pectoral cross, a hat, and a cap, were once owned by Sir Thomas More, the last male descendant of Sir Thomas, who was the Provincial of the English Province of the Society of Jesus during the suppression of the order. These relics were graciously donated to the English College at Liege by the last descendant. When the college was relocated from Liege to Stonyhurst in 1794, these historical artifacts, including the seals, were carefully transported and are now preserved in the College Museum. Currently, by the generosity of the Rector of the College, these priceless relics of Sir Thomas More, along with numerous other objects of historical significance and art, are on display at the Special Art Exhibition at South Kensington, offering the public a rare opportunity to witness the rich history and heritage they represent.
