The Miroir or Glasse of the Synneful Soul

It is, moreover, dedicated to Elizabeth's father Henry VIII, the wording being, "Illustrissimo Henrico octavo, Anglie, Francie, Hibernieq.

[2] The Miroir or Glasse of the Synneful Soul measures about seven by five inches (180 by 125 mm) and has an identical design on both covers, worked in blue silk in a tapestry stitch over canvas with interlacing scrollwork of gold and silver braid that joins the queen's initials K.P.

Each corner of the front depicts a heartsease (Viola) in purple, green and yellow silk with gold thread.

[2] Cyril Davenport particularly notes the canvas covers as evidence that these embroideries were worked in Elizabeth's own hand.

Canvas is easier to embroider than velvet and there could have been little other reason to use a cheap material for a royal gift, except to facilitate a child's handiwork.

The edited photo shows what the embroidered front cover of The Miroir or Glasse of the Synneful Soul would have looked like in 1544; the original can be seen in the Bodleian Library.
