The coronation of Charles II at Westminster Abbey on 23 April 1661. Published in 'The entertainment of His most excellent Majestie Charles II...' (1662) by John Ogilby. Ogilby had obtained exclusive publishing rights for the coronation procession days before it took place, rushing out a simple and unillustrated text in time for the event, and over the next year worked on this sumptuous account with engravings by leading engravers including (as here) Wenceslaus Hollar, (1607-77), Bohemian printmaker who spent most of his career working in England. Hollar's technical skill has ensured that his prints have always been keenly collected, and comprehensive collections of his work are at institutions in London, Berlin and Prague.

[Murder of the de Witt brothers, with letterpress description and portraits of the brothers]
R. de Hooghe del et sc. 1672 [and similar, murder scenes only]
Four etched and engraved sheets, dimensions 150 x 115mm (6 x 4½") to 315 x 200mm (12½ x 8"). All trimmed and tipped into album sheets.
The murders of the De Witt brothers, Cornelis (1623-72) and Jan (1625-72), shown in four panels (originally printed on one sheet). Etched by Romeyn de Hooghe (1645-1708), exponent of the late Dutch Baroque best known for his political caricatures of Louis XIV and his prints glorifying William III and the Glorious Revolution. Jan de Witt opposed the appointment of William of Orange as stadtholder, and after the French invasion of the United Provinces in 1672 the people called for William and demonstrated against Jan. That same year Cornelis de Witt was suspected of treason and condemned to exile for life. As a result Jan resigned his position as councillor pensionary, but when he visited Cornelis in prison in the Hague, a mob gathered, dragged both brothers outside, and murdered them (as shown here). Offered with description of the events and double portrait of the brothers (probably not by de Hooghe).

Etching, sheet 150 x 190mm (5¾ x 7½"). Trimmed and glued to backing sheet.
After William of Orange landed at Torbay in November 1688, James II left London at the second time of asking (the first time his boat was intercepted at Faversham and a body of guards had to come and return him to London) and fled to France. Louis XIV had lavishly refurbished the chateau of St Germain-en-Laye, near Paris, for James and his family. It was the perfect environment for James and his exiled court, and if he had his own way he probably never would have left. Louis XIV, however, wanted James to travel to Ireland, and from there attempt to recover his crown from the insurgent William. Etching from a set of scenes from the Glorious Revolution and related events published by Adriaan Schoonebeek (1661-1705), Dutch printmaker who studied under Romeyn de Hooghe and later moved to Moscow to set up a printmaking workshop for Peter the Great.

[by Romeyn de Hooghe, 1689]
Etching sheet 195 x 555mm (7½ x 21¾"). Tipped into backing sheet; fold through centre. Section of larger print.
Top section of a large satire comprising eleven scenes from the flight of James II and Mary of Modena which precipitated the Glorious Revolution in which William III came to the throne. Etched by Romeyn de Hooghe (1645-1708), exponent of the late Dutch Baroque best known for his political caricatures of Louis XIV and his prints glorifying William III and the Glorious Revolution. De Hooghe's output as an artist was broad, however, and he had other talents and responsibilities: in 1689 he was placed in charge of obtaining building materials for the royal hunting lodge of Het Loo; the same year he became a Doctor of Law at Harderwijk University; he designed ceiling paintings for municipal buildings and church windows; and he wrote several political and historical treatises.

Scenes depicting James II's departure from England in 1688. After William of Orange landed in England in November 1688, James decided to flee.

James then briefly attempted resume government before receiving a request from William to remove himself. This he did, travelling to Rochester in Kent and from there on to France. He landed in Ambleteuse, near Boulogne, on Christmas day, and from there travelled to the chateau of St Germain-en-Laye which Louis XIV had given him. These etchings are all copied from prints in a set of twenty-five by Adriaan Schoonebeek depicting events in the struggle for the British crown from the civil war to the coronation of William III and Mary II.

Ad. Schoonebeek excudit [1691]
Etching, sheet 145 x 190mm (5¾ x 7½"). Trimmed and glued to backing sheet.
After William of Orange landed at Torbay in November 1688, James II left London at the second time of asking (the first time his boat was intercepted at Faversham and a body of guards had to come and return him to London) and fled to France. Louis XIV had lavishly refurbished the chateau of St Germain-en-Laye, near Paris, for James and his family. It was the perfect environment for James and his exiled court, and if he had his own way he probably never would have left. Louis XIV, however, wanted James to travel to Ireland, and from there attempt to recover his crown from the insurgent William. This scene shows James landing at Kinsale in Ireland on 12 March 1689. William III (as he was crowned in April 1689) landed in Ireland in mid-June, and defeated James at the battle of the Boyne on 1 July 1689. This precipitated James' final exile in France. Etching from a set of scenes from the Glorious Revolution and related events published by Adriaan Schoonebeek (1661-1705), Dutch printmaker who studied under Romeyn de Hooghe and later moved to Moscow to set up a printmaking workshop for Peter the Great.
