Four etched and engraved sheets, dimensions 150 x 115mm (6 x 4½") to 315 x 200mm (12½ x 8"). All trimmed and tipped into album sheets.
The murders of the De Witt brothers, Cornelis (1623-72) and Jan (1625-72), shown in four panels (originally printed on one sheet). Etched by Romeyn de Hooghe (1645-1708), exponent of the late Dutch Baroque best known for his political caricatures of Louis XIV and his prints glorifying William III and the Glorious Revolution. Jan de Witt opposed the appointment of William of Orange as stadtholder, and after the French invasion of the United Provinces in 1672 the people called for William and demonstrated against Jan. That same year Cornelis de Witt was suspected of treason and condemned to exile for life. As a result Jan resigned his position as councillor pensionary, but when he visited Cornelis in prison in the Hague, a mob gathered, dragged both brothers outside, and murdered them (as shown here). Offered with description of the events and double portrait of the brothers (probably not by de Hooghe).

Etching, rare; sheet 300 x 185mm (11¾ x 7¼"). Trimmed. Tipped into album sheet.
Mary II (1662-94) privately expressed the wish for a simple funeral, but following her death from smallpox she was given an elaborate burial in Westminster Abbey and the most lavish funeral procession ever held for an English monarch, as depicted in a series of prints by Romeyn de Hooghe to which this is the frontispiece. De Hooghe (1645-1708) was a Dutch Baroque printmaker best known for his political caricatures of Louis XIV and his prints glorifying William III and the Glorious Revolution.

Mary II's regalia on display after her death in 1694. Plate from Samuel Gruterus, 'Funeralia Mariae II Britanniarum' (Haarlem, 1695), which depicted episodes from the funeral of Mary II (1662-94), queen of England, Scotland and Ireland. Although Mary had privately expressed the wish for a simple funeral, she was buried with elaborate ceremony in Westminster Abbey, and her funeral procession was the largest ever held for an English monarch. Etched by Romeyn de Hooghe (1645-1708), exponent of the late Dutch Baroque best known for his political caricatures of Louis XIV and his prints glorifying William III and the Glorious Revolution. De Hooghe's output as an artist was broad, however, and he had other talents and responsibilities: in 1689 he was placed in charge of obtaining building materials for the royal hunting lodge of Het Loo; the same year he became a Doctor of Law at Harderwijk University; he designed ceiling paintings for municipal buildings and church windows; and he wrote several political and historical treatises.

An allegory of the choices of life: children stream from between the legs of a woman in the foreground to pass through an arch to live their lives, with the middle ground filled with people partying and brawling. On the left others are being tortured in a cave, a gallows above; on the right is a burning church. Far fewer people pass a narrower arch and join a steep path up to Heaven. Published in 'Epicteti Enchiridium', this is an illustration of Matthew 7:13: ''Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it''.

Londonderri [sic]. Double victory upon the Barbars...
Tot Leyden, Gedruckt by Iohannes Tangena, Kaert-en Boeckverkooper, over de Academie. Anno 1690 [Leiden, The Netherlands].
Illustrated Dutch broadside on the Siege of Derry, 1689; etching of the battle with title and key below, very scarce. Sheet 270 x 460mm, 10½ x 18". Presented with four related letterpress fragments of verse, in Dutch, French, Latin and English, with decorative vignettes; all glued to a large folded scrap sheet. The etching with water stains, vertical creases, and trimmed into plate at right.
The Siege of Derry (Londonderry) took place in Ireland from 18 April to 28 July 1689, during the Williamite War in Ireland. The city, a Williamite stronghold, was besieged by a Jacobite army until it was relieved by Royal Navy ships. The siege is commemorated annually in August by the Apprentice Boys of Derry. The battle scene is by Romeyn de Hooghe (Dutch, 1645 - 1708), a propagandist for William of Orange (King William III). A panorama of another battlefield, the 'Seige of Bonn' (1689), also by de Hooghe, was originally issued by Johannes Tangena on the same sheet, directly below. The two plates were often separated, and the letterpress commemorates both battles.

A portrait of William III of Orange surrounded by his ancestors and predecessors as Stadtholder: from left to right, William I of Orange (William the Silent); his elder son, Maurits; William's father William II; and Frederik Hendrik, William III's grandfather and youngest son of William I. One of the separate sheets is a view of his entry into Amsterdam, 12 August, 1672, the other two the keys naming the figures in the main image. The print celebrates the reinstatement of the joint post of Stadtholder and Captain General after the Republican faction had abolished it in 1668. In 1672, faced with a French invasion, William took control of the Dutch army and was appointed Stadtholder of Holland and West-Friesland.

A scene showing the election of William, Prince of Orange (1650-1702) (later William III of England), to the role of Stadtholder in the Netherlands. Following the first Anglo-Dutch war Cromwell had demanded that the position of Stadtholder remain vacant, however, with the Restoration of the Monarchy in 1660 this demand was deemed void. Following what was called the 'disaster year' in 1672 in which the Dutch went to war with both the French and the English it was decided to elect William of Orange to the post. The scene shows William standing behind a table surrounded by his ministers of state, behind them musicians play and figures sit around a large dining table.
