Engraving, sheet 400 x 530mm (15¾ x 20¾"). Trimmed; crease through centre. Part of Broadside.
Dutch print presumably made to commemorate the restoration of Charles II in 1660. A number of prints relating to the event were produced in the Netherlands, since it was there that Charles II made the declaration of Breda before travelling through Delft and the Hague en route to England. He was lavishly entertained in the Hague, and it may be this occasion that is depicted in the procession behind. If it is intended for the king's coronation procession in London, the topography seems inaccurate.
