A Groundplot of part of the City of Westminster. Containing Westminster-Abby (or the Collegiate Church of St Peter) Westminster-Hall, The Court of Wards [...]
[1687]
Engraving, sheet 340 x 435mm (13½ x 17"). Trimmed; central fold; false margins top and bottom.
An early plan of Westminster, orientated with north to the bottom, showing the route taken from Westminster Hall to Westminster Abbey by James II on the day of his coronation. 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.

Whitehall 11 May 1640.
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.

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.
