[Portrait of Charles II with procession (through the Hague?) behind] Karel Stuart de Tweede, Koningk van Groot Britangie, Vranckrijck, Schotland en Yrlandt.
[Anon., c.1660]
Engraving, sheet 400 x 530mm (15¾ x 20¾"). Trimmed; crease through centre. Part of Broadside.
Dutch print presumably made to commemorate the restoration of Charles II in 1660. A number of prints relating to the event were produced in the Netherlands, since it was there that Charles II made the declaration of Breda before travelling through Delft and the Hague en route to England. He was lavishly entertained in the Hague, and it may be this occasion that is depicted in the procession behind. If it is intended for the king's coronation procession in London, the topography seems inaccurate.

1pp. als in ink, folded with wax seal, addressed in the same hand, scarce. Later ink mss. description.
A manuscript letter from Sir Edward Nicholas (1593-1669) at the time a clerk in ordinary to Charles I's Privy Council. As one of Charles's most trusted advisors he helped negotiate the Treaty of Uxbridge (1645), Charles's surrender to the Scots and the Surrender of Oxford (both 1646). He continued to serve Charles II in exile, becoming secretary of state in 1654, a role he kept after the Restoration. The letter is written to Montagu Bertie (1608-66), the year he became Baron Willoughby de Eresby, probably for raising 'The King's Life Guard of Foot' for service in the First Bishops' War of 1639. He fought at the First Battle of Newbury, Cropredy Bridge, Lostwithiel, Second Battle of Newbury and was wounded at Naseby. At the Restoration he officiated as Lord Great Chamberlain at the coronation of Charles II on 23 April 1661.
