![[Th]e Royal Progenei of our Most Sacred King James](jpegs/49526.jpg)
[Th]e Royal Progenei of our Most Sacred King James by the Grace of God of E.S.F. & I. &c. Decended from ye victorious King He.y 7 & Elizabeth his wife wherin ye 2 devided familes ware united together.
Beniamin Wright fecit.
Comp. Holland excu. Lon: 1619.
Engraving, 17th century watermark, scarce. Sheet 375 x 275mm (14¾ x 11¾"). Trimmed to plate, wear in corners with loss. Edges tatty, damaged.
The family tree of James VI and I, with portraits of his ancestors back to Henry VII, designed to show his claim to the English throne but also celebrating the uniting of the Houses of York and Lancaster. The arms of the two rival families fill the bottom corners. The plate was first published by Hans Woutnell in 1603. The engraver was Benjamin Wright (fl. 1596-1613), a Londoner who seems to have spent much of his career abroad. He usually engraved maps, for example for the Langenes 'Caert-Thrésor' and Antonio Magini's atlas of Italy (the country's first), but does not appear to be reliable: he is recorded as pawning the copper plate of the map of Genova he was working on.
