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.
