[n.d. c.1679.]
Engraving, sheet 235 x 150mm (9¼ x 6"). Trimmed; laid into album sheet at edges.
Miles Prance (fl.1678-88), perjurer involved in the 'Popish Plot', a supposed Catholic conspiracy to kill Charles II. Prance was arrested in relation to the death of Sir Edmund Berry Godfrey (to whom Titus Oates had sworn testimony), and after admitting involvement in Godfrey's murder (which has never been conclusively proved), gave evidence against Henry Berry, Robert Green, and Lawrence Hill, who were executed as a result. Prance, meanwhile shared with William Bedloe the reward for the discovery of the murderers. Under the influence of Bedloe and Oates, Prance subsequently informed on a number of Catholics and published pamphlets defending his evidence. Prance faded from view with the ebbing of the Popish Plot, but in 1686 he was found guilty of perjury, fined and stood in the pillory at Westminster (although he was spared the whipping he was sentenced to). Frontispiece to Prance's 'True Narrative and Discovery of several very remarkable passages relating to the horrid Popish Plot' (1679).

[The Aveunue of Fountains, Pratolino]
S. D. Bella [n.d., c.1650-56]
Etching, platemark 255 x 375mm (10 x 14¾")
One from the set of six views that Stefano della Bella (1610-64) produced of the villa at Pratolino, near Florence. Built for Francesco I de'Medici in the sixteenth century, the villa was praised by Montaigne, amongst others. This view shows the spectacular path from the garden to the villa, along which the visitor walks beneath a succession of fountain jets. After being left unattended for much of the eighteenth century, the villa was demolished in 1820 and the garden was redesigned. It is now part of the Villa Demidoff, as it was named by a Russian industrialist who owned the site in the nineteenth century.
