HHolbein pinxit Wenceslaus Hollar fecit Aqua forti, ex Collectionae Arundeliana, Ao 1648
Trimmed and glued to backing sheet with decorative border. Fine impression.
Anne of Cleves (1515-1557), fourth wife of Henry VIII of England and Queen of England from 6 January 1540 to 9 July 1540. The marriage was never consummated, and she was not crowned queen consort. When her health began to fail, Anne was allowed by Mary I to live at Chelsea Old Manor, and later died on 16 July 1557 (making her the last of Henry VIII's wives to die). Etched by Wenceslaus Hollar (1607-77) after the portrait by Holbein, now in the Louvre but at the time (1648) in the collection of Thomas Howard, Earl of Arundel, who Hollar had known since 1636. In 1644 Hollar had moved to Antwerp due to the political climate in England. Lord Arundel was also in Antwerp at this time with much of his collection, and during his eight year stay in the city Hollar made numerous prints from works in the Arundel collection such as this.

Etching, laid on album sheet; sheet 130 x 75mm (5 x 3"). Loss top right.
John Bastwick (1595?-1654), Puritan religious controversialist and pamphleteer. One of five bust portraits etched by Wenceslaus Hollar of writers punished for their opinions on the High Church policy of Laud. As recounted in the text here, in 1637 they were fined impossibly large sums, lost their ears, and sentenced to life imprisonment (although Bastwick, after a spell in Star Castle in the Isles of Scilly, was released in 1644). It was etched on the same plate as two of the other portraits; the copperplate, now cut, is in the Bodleian Library in Oxford. Hollar (1607-77) was a Bohemian printmaker who spent most of his career working in England, from a Protestant background (although he later converted to Catholicism). Hollar's technical skill has ensured that his prints have always been keenly collected, and comprehensive collections of his work are institutions in London, Berlin and Prague.

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.

Sir William Dugdale (1605-1686) was an English antiquary. His early life was spent collecting materials for a history of Warwickshire with Sir Symon Archer, and in 1638 he was created a pursuivant of arms extraordinary and a year later he was promoted to the office of Rouge Croix Pursuivant of Arms in Ordinary. He then stayed in London to do some research on the records in the Tower. In 1642 he was summoned to attend the King at York, and when the Civil War broke out he requested to open the castles of Banbury and Warwick as strongholds to keep them out of reach of the rebel forces. In 1644 the King created him Chester Herald of Arms in Ordinary. At the Restoration he obtained the office of Norroy King of Arms, and in 1677 he was knighted and promoted to the officer of Garter Principal King of Arms, which he held until his death.

Trimmed and glued to backing sheet with decorative border. Fine impression. Slight tear at bottom right.
Philip Herbert, first earl of Montgomery and fourth earl of Pembroke (1584-1650), courtier and politician. As a young man Pembroke was a favourite of James I. He fared less well under Charles I (whose queen Henrietta Maria disliked him), and this was no doubt a factor (along with his attachment to protestantism) in Pembroke's allegiance to parliament during the civil war. Pembroke was a great patron of the arts, who first commissioned the De Caus brothers to design a new palace for him at Wilton, and then (after that burnt down in 1647) enlisted Inigo Jones and John Webb to design a new house in the Palladian style. He was also a great patron of Van Dyck, after whose portrait of Pembroke this etching was made by Wenceslaus Hollar (1607-77), etcher and draughtsman originally from Bohemia (now in the Czech Republic) who spent much of his career in England.

One of a set of thirty-seven portrait busts of women etched by Wenceslaus Hollar (1607-77), prolific and highly-regarded printmaker born in Bohemia but working mostly in England. Richard Pennington, author of the standard work on Hollar, describes the series as 'rather fashion plates than portraits', while noting similarities with living persons in some cases. This print has been identified elsewhere as Mary, princess royal (1631-60), princess of Orange and daughter of Charles I.
