England's Royal Pattern, or the History of King Charles ye First, from his Marriage to his Death. Hull Summoned by the King 3d. April 1642. The first Essay the Parliament made towards Sovereign Power was their seising upon Hull and sending Sr. John Hotham there as their Governour whereby they became Masters of Majesty’s Magazine. The Gentlemen of Yorkshire here upon prevailed with the King to demand restitution of that place and attended his Majesty to the Gates, but He found them shut against Him, the Bridges drawn up, the Walls mann’d and all things in Readiness for the reception of an Enemy, and Sr. John Hotham from the Wall acquainted the King that He durst not open the Gates, being entrusted by the Parliament. His Majesty replied, that if He persisted in that resolution He shou’d be obliged to proclaim him a Traitor and His disobedience wou’d probably bring many miseries on the Kingdom, by He still refused His Majesty Entrance, and was thereupon proclaim’d a Traitor.

[1661]
Rare engraving. Plate 265 x 160mm (10½ x 6½"). Damaged; trimmed inside platemark and glued to album sheet with hand-drawn borders.
Monumental structure with a calm seascape behind. The figure of the executed Charles I (derived from Van Dyck's portraits and wearing the medal of St George) appears as the object of a young woman's meditations. This is Princess Cloria, the protagonist of Percy Herbert's eponymous romance. Having been published in unfinished form in earlier editions, this presentation reflected the turmoil of the Civil War. The fronispiece of the completed work showed Cloria meditating undecidedly between 'past crimes' and Restoration amnesty.

Rare engraving. Plate 265 x 160mm (10½ x 6½"). Damaged; trimmed inside platemark and glued to album sheet with hand-drawn borders.
Monumental structure with a calm seascape behind. The figure of the executed Charles I (derived from Van Dyck's portraits and wearing the medal of St George) appears as the object of a young woman's meditations. This is Princess Cloria, the protagonist of Percy Herbert's eponymous romance. Having been published in unfinished form in earlier editions, this presentation reflected the turmoil of the Civil War. The fronispiece of the completed work showed Cloria meditating undecidedly between 'past crimes' and Restoration amnesty.

[Portrait of Charles II, with three prints relating to his escape following the battle of Worcester]
[various printmakers, early eighteenth century]
Four etchings and engravings, various dimensions, tipped into album sheets.
Soon after the battle of Worcester on 3 September 1651, the fugitive Charles II met with the royalist army officer William Careless, and on 6 September they hid together in boughs of an oak tree to hide from pursuing Commonwealth forces. That night they retired to nearby Boscobel House, before Charles II made his way south disguised (unconvincingly) as a servant, narrowly avoiding capture several times before finally obtaining passage to the continent via Shoreham six weeks after the battle. This group of prints includes: a portrait of Charles II; an image of Charles II and Careless 'advising under the Royal Oak'; Charles II travelling in disguise with royalist army officer Henry Wilmot in attendance; and a bird's-eye view of Boscobel House, the Royal Oak, and the surrounding area.

[London: John Brindley, 1743.]
Engraving, sheet 380 x 500mm (15 x 19¾"). Crease through centre as usual;
Equestrian portrait of Charles II in front of a pre-Fire prospect of London. Newcastle's treatise on horsemanship, 'La Methode et Invention nouvelle de Dresser les Chevaux' was first published in Antwerp by Jacob van Meurs c.1658. This example from the first English edition, 'A General System of Horsemanship in All Its Branches'. After the defeat of the Royalist cause in the Civil War William Cavendish (1592-1676) settled in Antwerp, where this work was engraved. His estates at Bolsover and Welbeck Abbey were often the backdrop of these famous dressage plates

Engraving, sheet 375 x 280mm (14¾ x 11"). Tipped into album sheet.
Charles II (1630 - 1685), king of England, Scotland and Ireland. The son of Charles I, Charles campaigned with his father until sent abroad for safety in 1646 as the Royalist cause fell into decline. After the execution of his father, Charles unsuccessfully invaded England in 1651: after the rout of Royalist forces at the Battle of Worcester he escaped (initially hiding in a nearby oak tree), eventually fleeing to the continent. The death of Cromwell in 1658 paved the way for the restoration of the monarchy, which saw Charles return as king in 1660. Fine engraving after a portrait by Sir Peter Lely (1618 - 1680), portrait painter whose work provides a record of the court of Charles II as potent and evocative of that which van Dyck left of his father's court.
