During her five year reign, she had over 280 religious dissenters burned at the stake.

Etching, sheet 475 x 570mm (18¾ x 22½"). Trimmed inside platemark; repaired vertical and horizontal folds barely visible from front, two cuts from bottom edge to facilitate folding;
A grand image of a new age. The arrival in England of Mary II, daughter of James II who married William of Orange. In 1688 William invaded Britain in the Glorious Revolution, deposing James II and becoming William III, and Mary followed in 1689. Here a large crowd welcomes her while ships in the middle ground and background fire salutes. Various elements are numbered 1-23 although there is no letterpress identification in this state. Etching by Romeyn de Hooghe (1645-1708), exponent of the late Dutch Baroque best known for his political caricatures of Louis XIV and his prints glorifying William III and the Glorious Revolution such as this. De Hooghe's output as an artist was broad, however, and he had other talents and responsibilities: in 1689 he was placed in charge of obtaining building materials for the royal hunting lodge of Het Loo; the same year he became a Doctor of Law at Harderwijk University; he designed ceiling paintings for municipal buildings and church windows; and he wrote several political and historical treatises.

Mary II (1662 - 1694), reigned 1689-94. The eldest daughter of James II, Mary married Prince William of Orange in 1677. In the dilemma of the 1688 Revolution she supported her husband and Protestantism rather than her Catholic father, and she was invited to return to England in 1689 to share the monarchy with William. She proved a wise and effective ruler, especially during William's absences at war. From a series of twenty-one engravings by Jacob Houbraken and Pieter Tanjé of Dutch stadholders and their families, each in a decorative oval placed on a pedestal, designed by Hendrik van Pothoven
