A Prospect of the Inside of Westminster Hall, Shewing how the King and Queen, with the Nobility and Others, did Sit at Dinner on the day of the Coronation, 23 April 1685 [...]
S Moore fecit [1687]
Engraving, sheet 390 x 505mm (15¼ x 19¾"). False margins top and bottom.
Banquet at Westminster Hall, held as part of the coronation of James II and Mary of Modena on 23 April 1685. Illustration to Francis Sandford, 'The history of the coronation of the Most High, Most Mighty, and Most Excellent Monarch, James II, by the grace of God, King of England, Scotland, France, and Ireland, defender of the faith, &c. And of his royal consort, Queen Mary' (London, 1687). Sandford worked for two years with his fellow herald Gregory King to produce this record of the coronation rituals, which included twenty-seven lavish engravings of the sumptuous feasts, processions and fireworks in a style previously unseen in the British Isles. Unfortunately for Sandford, the book appeared shortly before the Glorious Revolution which saw James II flee the country, and the authors barely cleared their expenses.

[Anon., c.1688]
Two etchings, both approx 165 x 110mm (6½ x 4¼"). Trimmed. Both tipped into same backing sheet.
Scenes depicting James II's departure from England in 1688. After William of Orange landed in England in November 1688, James decided to flee. Leaving London, he got as far as Faversham in Kent before his boat was intercepted and he needed a company of guards to rescue him. 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.

[James II lands at Kinsale in Ireland] Koning Jakobus II lant to Kingsal in Yrlant [parallel text in French]
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.

Etching, sheet 475 x 570mm (18¾ x 22½"). Trimmed inside platemark; repaired vertical and horizontal folds barely visible from front, two cuts from bottom edge to facilitate folding;
A grand image of a new age. The arrival in England of Mary II, daughter of James II who married William of Orange. In 1688 William invaded Britain in the Glorious Revolution, deposing James II and becoming William III, and Mary followed in 1689. Here a large crowd welcomes her while ships in the middle ground and background fire salutes. Various elements are numbered 1-23 although there is no letterpress identification in this state. Etching 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 such as this. 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.

James Duke of Monmouth. Mortuus 15 July 1685. Ætat 36. The Gods from Heaven survey the fatal Strife And mourn the Miseries of human Life.
From a Painting by Netcher and Wyke, in the Collection of W.m Baillie Esq.r. W.Baillie fec. 30 Sept. 1774.
Mezzotint with text printed from separate plate, sheet 400 x 410mm (15¾ x 16"). Trimmed; two vertical folds.
James Scott, duke of Monmouth and the first duke of Buccleuch (1649-1685), politician and illegitimate son of Charles II, on horseback, with the Battle of Sedgemoor (6 July 1785) in the background. The Battle of Sedgemoor, fought near Bridgwater in Somerset, was the last act of the Monmouth Rebellion (in which Monmouth attempted unsuccessfully to depose his uncle, King James II). Monmouth's men were routed, and although Monmouth himself escaped, he was found hiding in a ditch two days later. He was taken back to London, imprisoned in the Tower, and executed a few days later. Monmouth was allowed to be beheaded rather than the usual method of hanging, but the executioner took five strokes of the axe to sever the head; after the first stroke Monmouth was said to have raised his head in anguish.

Rare engraving, sheet 190 x 305mm (7½ x 12"). Trimmed, losing text key to numbers in image, and glued to backing sheet.
Figure being beheaded on a scaffold with large crowd in attendance; oval portraits of James Scott, first duke of Monmouth and Buccleuch (1649 -1685), illegitimate son of Charles II, and his confederate Archibald Campbell, ninth Earl of Argyll (1629 - 1685), politician and clan leader. The scene shows the execution of Monmouth, who was beheaded rather than hanged (the more common form of execution) at the king's agreement. Even though Monmouth paid his executioner well, however, he did his job poorly and took five strokes to sever Monmouth's head from his body. After the first stroke Monmouth was reportedly seen to raise his head in anguish.

Titus Oates D.D. the first discoverer of the Plott.
[?David Loggan]
[n.d. c.1680.]
Engraving, sheet 225 x 140mm (8¾ x 5½"). Trimmed and glued to backing sheet at edges.
Titus Oates (1649-1705), perjurer who fabricated the 'Popish Plot', a supposed Catholic conspiracy to kill King Charles II and incite an insurrection. He began his career as an Anglican priest, but converted to Catholicism in 1677. This secured his admission to Jesuit college at St Omer, and this gave plausibility to his story about a Catholic plot. Oates swore his testimony to Sir Edmund Berry Godfrey in September 1678, and it was Godfrey's murder a few weeks later (a death that has never been explained) that overnight turned the plot in the public mind from allegation to certainty. Oates managed to retain a central role in the unfolding affair by continually inventing new accusations. In 1684, in the flood of the Tory reaction, he was prosecuted for perjury, and in 1685 sentenced to the pillory and public flogging. The Glorious Revolution saved him; he was pardoned, given a pension and married a wealthy widow.

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).
