Frederick Henry, Prince of Orange (1584 - 1647). Frederick Henry was son of William the Silent, the principal leader of the Dutch struggle for independence against Spain. When his half-brother, Maurice Prince of Orange, died in 1625, Frederick became the third hereditary stadholder of the United Dutch Provinces. He married a lady-in-waiting to the exiled Queen of Bohemia. In 1641 their son, William II, married Mary, the daughter of Charles I of Great Britain. The Dutch Wars against the Spanish continued until the end of his reign. Shortly following his death in January 1648, peace was formally declared between the two countries. Engraving after Adriaen van de Venne (1589-1662), Dutch artist and writer based in Middelburg, Zeeland at this time. Impressions of the print were purchased by the States General, the ruling executive of the United Dutch Provinces.

Duke Frederick of Wurtemburg invested with the Order of the Garter, the investiture ceremony in Stuttgart cathedral. Frederick I's ruling passion was to establish an alliance with Elizabeth I and to obtain the Order of the Garter. The Queen called him 'cousin Mumpellgart', and in 1597 allowed his election to the Order of the Garter, but the actual ceremony of his investiture did not take place until November, 1603, when the Garter was conferred on him in his own capital city of Stuttgart by a special embassy from James I.

[Friedrich III] Imp. Cæs Fridericus IV Cogn. Pacificus Ernesti Austr. Fil. Rex. Romanorum.
I. Ab Hayde [Jan van der Heyden].
[n.d., c.1600.]
Engraving Sheet 300 x 190mm (11¾ x 7½"). Trimmed into image.
Portrait of the Holy Roman Emperor Friedrich III (1415-93), mis-identified at Friedrich IV, probably because he was King Friedrich IV of Germany also. He was the first emperor of the House of Habsburg, the penultimate emperor to be crowned by the Pope and the last to be crowned in Rome. At 53 years his reign was the longest of any German monarch. He was known either as 'the Peaceful' or the 'Arch-Sleepyhead of the Holy Roman Empire'. Vignettes lower left and right claim the invention of both Typography and gunpowder during his reign. On verso is an ink insciption 'P. Mariette 1669', marking this print as coming from the collection of Pierre Mariette II, described by the BM as 'the greatest publisher of the century'. The collection passed to his grandson, Pierre-Jean Mariette (1694-1774), a renowned connoisseur and dealer in old master prints.

Frederick V, king of Bohemia and count Palatine of the Rhine (1596-1632), and his wife Elizabeth Stuart (1596-1662). They married in London in 1613, and Frederick accepted the crown of Bohemia in 1619, but just after a year later his reign as king ended following the Battle of White Mountain, and they spent the rest of their lives in exile (mostly at the Hague). For this reason they are nicknamed 'The Winter King' and 'The Winter Queen'. Pair of British mezzotints after portraits by Michiel van Mierevelt (1567-1641), Dutch artist who became official painter to the stadholder court and painted many portraits of members of the House of Orange Nassau, as well as foreign sitters such as Sir Dudley Carleton and Edward Cecil, Viscount Wimbledon.
