An elevation of famous mental hospital Moorfields, designed by Sir Robert Hooke. The governors of the hospital funded the first publication (1677) of this exceptionally large view, paying Robert White £40 to engrave the three plates and having final approval of his work. After presentation copies of the print were run off (for the govenors, Charles II and James, Duke of York, and others), the printing plates were given as a reward for service to the Clerk of the Governors 'to make the best advantage hee can thereof'. By 1694 the plates were owned by John Garrett (whose partially erase imprint can be seen at the bottom centre), before becoming the property of William Herbert. Herbert's address was the Golden Globe on London Bridge, one of ten new buildings erected on the bridge in 1749. He was forced to move when the bridge was cleared of buildings in 1759.

Anthony Ashley Cooper, first Earl of Shaftesbury (1621-1683), who fought first for Charles I in the Civil War and then for Parliament, but at the Restoration Charles II pardoned him, and he became and influential politician. A member of the Cabal ministry, he was created Earl of Shaftesbury and appointed Lord Chancellor in 1672. He favoured the claim of the Duke of Monmouth to the throne in the place of the Catholic James, Duke of York, and gained political ground briefly in the wake of the 'Popish Plot' (1679-81), but fell from favour so dramatically that he was forced to flee to the Netherlands in 1682.

Thomas Doolittle (1630-1707) was a nonconformist clergyman. Doolittle learnt his preaching methods from Richard Baxter, who later encouraged him to enter the ministry, leaving his occupation as assistant to a county lawyer. In 1653 Doolittle received Presbyterian ordination but committed himself to a Church of England congregation where he served until he was eventually ejected for nonconformity in 1662. He was however eminently successful at that ministry.

R. White delin. et sculp [1681]
Etching, sheet 230 x 150mm (9 x 6"). Trimmed. Glued to album sheet at edges.
Stephen Dugdale (d.1683), informer. Imprisoned for debt in 1678, Dugdale turned informer, claiming to have knowledge of the 'Popish Plot' to assassinate Charles II. He confirmed the evidence of the plot's chief fabricator Titus Oates, and created a minor sub-plot of his own, based in Staffordshire. At the Popish Plot trials of 1679, however, Dugdale was unpersuasive in his testimony and his respectability ebbed away under bouts of venereal disease and drunkenness. He continued to earn well as an informant until his death, however.

Edward VI (1537-1553), the son of Henry VIII and Jane Seymour. He lived a very short life, and on his death bed he and his council drew up a "Devise for the Succession", attempting to prevent the country being returned to Catholicism. In light of this, Edward named his cousin Lady Jane Grey as his heir. This was however disputed following his death and Jane was deposed by Mary within 13 days, who reversed Edward's Protestant reforms. Illustration to Gilbert Burnet's 'History of the Reformation'.
