Godard van Reede-Ginckel, first earl of Athlone (1644-1703), army officer. Born in Utrecht in the Netherlands (where he continued to spend much of his time when not fighting), Ginckel accompanied William to England in 1688 and fought by the new king's side at the battle of the Boyne. In 1690 was made commander of the king's army in Ireland, and between 1690 and 1692 led it to a series of victories at Ballymore, Athlone, Galway and Limerick. Returning to England in 1692 Ginckel was raised to the Irish peerage and given 40,000 acres of land in Ireland (which he sold at a knockdown price before William's grants of Irish land were reversed by the English parliament in 1700). Between 1692 and his death he was present at several important battles on the continent.

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.
