Engraved broadside. Sheet 485 x 295mm (19 x 11¼"). Trimmed into image on three sides, loss at corners (slightly affecting title) and centre right.
A rare illustration of one of the arches erected for the coronation procession of Charles II from The Tower of London to Whitehall, on St George's Day, April 23rd, 1661. At each arch the procession would pause to listen to speeches and song composed by John Ogilby (1600-72), 'Master of the Royal Imprimerie'. Ogilby is best known for his 1675 'Britannia', Europe's first road atlas, and the large-scale map of London, completed after his death by his wife's grandson William Morgan, publisher of this plate. This is an early English work by David Loggan, who came to England in the late 1650s, having been born in Danzig of English and Scottish parents.

Coloured etching. 225 x 150mm (8¾ x 6"), with large margins watermarked 'J Whatman 1824'. Spotting and soiling.
A gentle caricature portrait of a stout elderly man standing in profile to the left, holding a wallet and pencil. The BM suggests two identifications: 'Mr Ripley'; and Levy Barent Cohen (1740-1808, father-in-law of N. M. Rothschild), based on the title 'Mr Cohen' added for the Maclean edition of 1824. As Levy Barent Cohen died when Dighton was 13, this seems unlikely. BM Satires 12908.
