Mr: Miles Prance. Discoverer of the Horrid Plott and the Murtherers of Sr. E.B. Godfree.
R. White delin: et Sculp:
[n.d. c.1679.]
Engraving, sheet 235 x 150mm (9¼ x 6"). Trimmed; laid into album sheet at edges.
Miles Prance (fl.1678-88), perjurer involved in the 'Popish Plot', a supposed Catholic conspiracy to kill Charles II. Prance was arrested in relation to the death of Sir Edmund Berry Godfrey (to whom Titus Oates had sworn testimony), and after admitting involvement in Godfrey's murder (which has never been conclusively proved), gave evidence against Henry Berry, Robert Green, and Lawrence Hill, who were executed as a result. Prance, meanwhile shared with William Bedloe the reward for the discovery of the murderers. Under the influence of Bedloe and Oates, Prance subsequently informed on a number of Catholics and published pamphlets defending his evidence. Prance faded from view with the ebbing of the Popish Plot, but in 1686 he was found guilty of perjury, fined and stood in the pillory at Westminster (although he was spared the whipping he was sentenced to). Frontispiece to Prance's 'True Narrative and Discovery of several very remarkable passages relating to the horrid Popish Plot' (1679).

R. White Sculp.
Printed for R. Chiswell at the Rose and Crowne in St Pauls Church Yard [n.d., 1683].
Engraving, J. Whatman 17? watermark; Sheet 235 x 150mm (9¼ x 6"). Trimmed to plate, laid on album paper with letterpress biography underneath.
Sir James Turner (1615-c.1686), Scottish professional soldier who fought for the Swedes in the invasion of Bavaria in 1632 and the Thirty Years' War, and both the Scottish Covenanting army and the Royalists during the Civil War. After the Restoration, promoted to general, he helped supress the Lowland Covenanters, provoking the Pentland Uprising in 1666, during which he was captured at Dumfries. Often threatened with execution, he survived, perhaps because his captors knew he had been criticised for leniency by his superiors. This portrait was published as the frontispiece portrait to his 'Pallas Armata', essays on classical and modern warfare.
