[John Spottiswoode] Joannes Spotiswoode Archiepiscopus St Andreanus, Totius Scotiae Primas et Metropolitanus [...]
W: Hollar fecit.
Etching, sheet 280 x 180mm (11 x 7"). Tipped into album sheet.
John Spottiswoode (1565-1639), archbishop of St Andrews and historian. Made Lord Chancellor of Scotland by Charles I in 1634, Spottiswoode was subsequently forced to seek exile in England after attempting to implement controversial liturgical alterations in Scotland (these led to the Bishops' Wars of 1639-45). Frontispiece to the 1668 edition of Spottiswoode's 'The History of the Church of Scotland', completed shortly before his death but not published until 1655, during the Cromwellian interregnum. Largely focused on the reign of James I, who commissioned the work, the 'History' was unquestionably an apologia for the royalist and episcopal cause in Scotland. Etching by Wenceslaus Hollar (1607-77), Bohemian printmaker who spent most of his career working in England, and whose patron was Thomas Howard, earl of Arundel, who as one of Charles I's most trusted advisors led the king's forces against Scotland in 1639.

[Trial of Thomas Wentworth, Earl of Strafford] [Abbildung der Session des Parlaments zu Londen uber den Sentenz des Grafen von Stafford.]
W Hollar fecit [c.1641]
Etching, sheet 240 x 270mm (9½ x 10½"). Trimmed, losing title above image; tipped into album sheet.
The trial of Thomas Wentworth, Earl of Strafford (1593-1641), lord lieutenant of Ireland. In the deteriorating political climate leading up to the English Civil War, Strafford was recalled to London by Charles I (whose great supporter he was) in 1640, but was accused of high treason and imprisoned in the Tower of London shortly after. Strafford was tried in March 1641 (the detailed trial scene here labels the prominent figures present) and demonstrated his great skill as an orator by refuting most of the charges against him (mostly relating to his conduct in Ireland). When these failed, the Commons passed a bill of attainder (an act of legislation declaring Strafford guilty and punishable by death). Charles I, who had previously sworn to protect Strafford, both appeared in person to ask for him not to be condemned to death, and sent soldiers to the Tower in an unsuccessful attempt to free him. Eventually Charles assented to the bill of attainder and Strafford was beheaded at Tower Hill (he was spared the traditional punishment for treason, of being hung, drawn and quartered). The death of Strafford, rather than resolving the tension between parliament and the monarchy, merely aggravated it, as the king could not forgive those who had forced him to abandon one of his most trusted aides. Etching by Wenceslaus Hollar (1607-77). Born in Bohemia, Hollar spent around 32 of his 52 years as a professional artist working in England. An outstanding draughtsman and topographical etcher, Hollar's enormously varied work has done much to inform the way that seventeenth century London is visualised.
