The coronation of Charles II at Westminster Abbey on 23 April 1661. Published in 'The entertainment of His most excellent Majestie Charles II...' (1662) by John Ogilby. Ogilby had obtained exclusive publishing rights for the coronation procession days before it took place, rushing out a simple and unillustrated text in time for the event, and over the next year worked on this sumptuous account with engravings by leading engravers including (as here) Wenceslaus Hollar, (1607-77), Bohemian printmaker who spent most of his career working in England. Hollar's technical skill has ensured that his prints have always been keenly collected, and comprehensive collections of his work are at institutions in London, Berlin and Prague. P 575

George, Prince of Denmark (1653 - 1708); Consort of Queen Anne. Title to oval masonry frame, a crown, scroll and allegorical figure carved in relief below. The second son of Frederick III, King of Denmark, George married Princess Anne in 1683. There was not much affection for George in England: he was widely held to be lazy, incompetent, hypocritical, and to speak poor English. Anne became Queen of England in 1702, but George was not made King. He was given charge of the Admiralty but had little skill. This was made worse by the chronic asthma which eventually killed him. Engraved in Amsterdam by Jacobus Houbraken (1698 - 1780) after Sir Godfrey Kneller (1646 - 1723). This plate included in Thomas Birch's 'The Heads of Illustrious Persons of Great Britain', published in folio in London by Knapton between 1743 and 1752.

Fine mezzotint. Sheet 275 x 190mm (10¾ x 7½"). Trimmed to platemark.
George, prince of Denmark and duke of Cumberland (1653-1708), consort of Queen Anne. The second son of Frederick III, King of Denmark, George married Princess Anne in 1683 with a view to developing an Anglo-Danish alliance and thereby containing Dutch maritime power. He was therefore unpopular with the (Dutch-born) king after 1688, William III, and neither he nor Anne had much influence until Anne became Queen of England in 1702, but George was not made King. He was given the largely honorary appointment of Lord High Admiral in 1702 but played little active role. His DNB entry conclude: 'Prince George is usually dismissed as a boneheaded nonentity' but that 'his influence behind the scenes has been underestimated'.

Henry Frederick Stuart (1594 - 1612), first child of King James VI of Scotland (later King James I of England) and Anne of Denmark, was born on February 19, 1594, at Stirling Castle in Scotland. The pride of his parents, the heir apparent was groomed for kingship from the beginning. Henry was created Prince of Wales at Westminster in June 1610, the paragon of a prince: he was intelligent, well read, an excellent swordsman, an avid patron of the arts, and possessed of a strict sense of morality. In November 1612 Henry suddenly took ill and died, probably of typhoid fever, though rumours circulated that the Prince was poisoned. Here he is depicted in armour during a lance drill, a jousting tournament in the background. A copy of the engraving by Willem de Passe, by Robert Dunkarton (1744 - c. 1815). From a series of 15 copies of early engravings, 'Portraits of Royal Personages', by Turner, Earlom and Dunkarton, issued by Samuel Woodburn in book form in 1816. Another edition was published in 1830.
