G Kneller pinx. R. Sheppard Sculp [n.d., c.1700]
Engraving, sheet 380 x 220mm (15 x 8¾"). Trimmed; tipped into album sheet.
Charles II (1630-1685), king of England, Scotland and Ireland, 1660 to 1685. Following the execution of his father Charles I, he was forced into exile but returned with the Restoration of the monarchy in 1660 (as alluded to be the vignette below his coat of arms, showing his triumphant return to London). One of many engravings of Charles II after Sir Godfrey Kneller. Following the death of Sir Peter Lely in 1680, Kneller became the undoubted favourite court painter of the king. After Charles II died in 1685, Kneller easily fought of competition from William Wissing and John Riley to maintain his position under the new king, James II.

John Duke of Marlborough.
G. Kneller pinxit. J. Houbraken sculps. Amst. 1745.
In the Collection of the Honble. John Spencer. Impensis J. & P. Knapton Londidi.
Engraving. Dated in the platemark, but a later impression. 403 x 245mm. Light staining around the edges. Small tear to the bottom left-hand corner outside of the platemark.
John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough (1650-1722) was a prominent English soldier and statesman whose career spanned the reigns of five monarchs throughout the late 17th and early 18th centuries. Rising from a lowly page at the court of the House of Stuart, he loyally served the Duke of York through the 1670s and early 1680s, earning military and political advancement through his courage and diplomatic skill. Churchill's role in defeating the Monmouth Rebellion in 1685 helped secure James on the throne, yet just three years later he abandoned his Catholic mentor for the Protestant Dutchman, William of Orange. Honoured for his services at William's coronation with the earldom of Marlborough, he served with further distinction in the early years of the Nine Years' War, but persistent charges of Jacobitism brought about his fall from office and temporary imprisonment in the Tower. It was not until the accession of Queen Anne in 1702, however, that Marlborough reached the zenith of is powers, and secured his fame and fortune. Becoming de facto leader of Allied forces during the War of the Spanish Succession, his victories on the fields of Blenheim (1704), Ramillies (1706), Oudenarde (1708), and Malplaquet (1709), ensured his place in history as one of Europe's great generals. Incurring Anne’s disfavour, and caught between Tory and Whig faction, Marlborough, who had brought glory and success to Anne's reign, was forced from office and into self-imposed exile. He returned to England and to influence under the House of Hanover with the accession of George I to the British throne in 1714, but following a series of strokes in later age his health gradually deteriorated, and on 16 June 1722, at Windsor Lodge, the 1st Duke of Marlborough died.

John Dryden (1631-1700) was an influential English poet, literary critic, translator, and playwright who dominated the literary life of Restoration England to such a point that the period came to be known in literary circles as the Age of Dryden. Dryden was the dominant literary figure and influence of his age. He established the heroic couplet as the standard meter of English poetry, by writing successful satires, religious pieces, fables, epigrams, compliments, prologues, and plays in it; he also introduced the alexandrine and triplet into the form. In his poems, translations, and criticism, he established a poetic diction appropriate to the heroic couplet-Auden referred to him as "the master of the middle style"-that was a model for his contemporaries and for much of the 18th century. The considerable loss felt by the English literary community at his death was evident from the elegies which it inspired.
