Mezzotint, pt 17th century watermark, sheet 210 x 155mm (8¼ x 6"). Trimmed.
John III Sobieski (1629 - 1696), king of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania. Sobieski was one of the most notable monarchs of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. His reign was marked by conflict with Ottoman forces attempting to advance into Europe. Soon after becoming king in 1674 he recommenced the war against the Ottomans, and followed by unsuccessful attempts to conquer Prussia. Sobieski eventually found himself with few allies, leading to a pact with Leopold I of Austria that the two rulers would help each other if their countries were threatened.
