[John Bowles, London, c.1750.]
Engraving, sheet 410 x 440mm. Trimmed within plate, glued to album page.
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.

Engraving, sheet 410 x 440mm. Trimmed within plate, glued to album page. Lower right corner extremity missing.
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.

[Portrait of Charles II, with three prints relating to his escape following the battle of Worcester]
[various printmakers, early eighteenth century]
Four etchings and engravings, various dimensions, tipped into album sheets.
Soon after the battle of Worcester on 3 September 1651, the fugitive Charles II met with the royalist army officer William Careless, and on 6 September they hid together in boughs of an oak tree to hide from pursuing Commonwealth forces. That night they retired to nearby Boscobel House, before Charles II made his way south disguised (unconvincingly) as a servant, narrowly avoiding capture several times before finally obtaining passage to the continent via Shoreham six weeks after the battle. This group of prints includes: a portrait of Charles II; an image of Charles II and Careless 'advising under the Royal Oak'; Charles II travelling in disguise with royalist army officer Henry Wilmot in attendance; and a bird's-eye view of Boscobel House, the Royal Oak, and the surrounding area.
