After escaping the Siege of Oxford in April 1646, Charles I put himself into the hands of the Scottish Presbyterian army at Newark, and was taken to nearby Southwell while his 'hosts' decided what to do with him. The Presbyterians finally arrived at an agreement with Parliament and delivered Charles to them in 1647. He was imprisoned at Holdenby House in Northamptonshire, until cornet George Joyce took him by force to Newmarket in the name of the New Model Army. At this time, mutual suspicion had developed between the New Model Army and Parliament, and Charles was eager to exploit it. The King was then transferred first to Oatlands and then to Hampton Court, where more involved but fruitless negotiations took place. He was persuaded that it would be in his best interests to escape — perhaps abroad, perhaps to France, or perhaps to the custody of Colonel Robert Hammond, Parliamentary Governor of the Isle of Wight. He decided on the last course, believing Hammond to be sympathetic, and fled on 11 November. Hammond, however, was opposed to Charles, whom he confined in Carisbrooke Castle. Engraved by Nathaniel Parr.

In January 1649, in response to Charles's defiance of Parliament even after defeat, and his encouraging the second Civil War while in captivity, the House of Commons passed an Act of Parliament creating a court for Charles's trial. After the first Civil War, the parliamentarians accepted the premise that the King, although wrong, had been able to justify his fight, and that he would still be entitled to limited powers as King under a new constitutional settlement. It was now felt that by provoking the second Civil War even while defeated and in captivity, Charles showed himself incorrigible, dishonourable, and responsible for unjustifiable bloodshed. The idea of trying a king was a novel one; previous monarchs had been deposed, but had never been brought to trial as monarchs. The High Court of Justice established by the Act consisted of 135 Commissioners but only about half of that number ever sat in judgement (all firm Parliamentarians); the prosecution was led by Solicitor General John Cooke. Engraved by Nathaniel Parr.

Pub. April 1788, by Jane White, No 38. Tavistock Street, London.
Scarce stipple. 420 x 470mm (16½ x 18½) very large margins. Repaired tears in margins.
Charles I in confinement at St James's Palace, visited by two of his younger children. The account of Elizabeth (1635-50), found among her possessions when she died of pneumonia aged 14 while still Parliament's prisoner, is the main source for Charles's last days. It suggested that Cromwell intended to make Henry (1640-60) a puppet king. Later, having embraced Protestantism, Henry was released in 1652 and went to Paris to live with his mother; he died of small pox mere months after the Restoration. This plate was published as a pair to a plate of Mary Queen of Scots receiving her death warrant. Later the artist, Charles Benazech (c.1767-1794), was in Paris as the French Revolution erupted. This scene was mirrored in his ''La derniere entrevue de Louis XVI avec sa famille la veille de son execution'', one of a set of four plates of the last days of the French king.

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.

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.
