The coronation of Charles II at Westminster Abbey on 23 April 1661. Published in 'The entertainment of His most excellent Majestie Charles II...' (1662) by John Ogilby. Ogilby had obtained exclusive publishing rights for the coronation procession days before it took place, rushing out a simple and unillustrated text in time for the event, and over the next year worked on this sumptuous account with engravings by leading engravers including (as here) Wenceslaus Hollar, (1607-77), Bohemian printmaker who spent most of his career working in England. Hollar's technical skill has ensured that his prints have always been keenly collected, and comprehensive collections of his work are at institutions in London, Berlin and Prague. P 575
