[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.

A large engraving of the statue of Charles II as a Roman Emperor, carved by Arnold Quellin in partnership with Grinling Gibbons in 1681. It was erected in the Royal Exchange by the Society of Merchant Adventurers of England in 1684, and was destroyed by the fire that razed the Exchange in 1838. The statue met with the king's approval so he took steps to ensure that Gibbons profited: the 'London Gazette' for 15 May 1684 carried an announcement: 'His Majesty, being well satisfied with the performance of Mr Grinling Gibbons in the making his Majesties statue lately set up in the Royal Exchange, hath been pleased to forbid all persons to copy the same in graving, etching or in mezzotinto, without the approbation of the said Mr Gibbons'. This print was advertised for sale in 12 January 1685, published by Dorman Newman; the plate passed to Mortier after Newman's bankruptcy in 1694 and then to John King after Mortier's death c.1728.

Engraving, sheet 375 x 280mm (14¾ x 11"). Tipped into album sheet.
Charles II (1630 - 1685), king of England, Scotland and Ireland. The son of Charles I, Charles campaigned with his father until sent abroad for safety in 1646 as the Royalist cause fell into decline. After the execution of his father, Charles unsuccessfully invaded England in 1651: after the rout of Royalist forces at the Battle of Worcester he escaped (initially hiding in a nearby oak tree), eventually fleeing to the continent. The death of Cromwell in 1658 paved the way for the restoration of the monarchy, which saw Charles return as king in 1660. Fine engraving after a portrait by Sir Peter Lely (1618 - 1680), portrait painter whose work provides a record of the court of Charles II as potent and evocative of that which van Dyck left of his father's court.
