Three etchings depicting James II's departure from England in 1688. After William of Orange landed in England in November 1688, James decided to flee. Leaving London, he got as far as Faversham in Kent before his boat was intercepted and he needed a company of guards to rescue him. James then briefly attempted resume government before receiving a request from William to remove himself. This he did, travelling to Rochester in Kent and from there on to France. These etchings are all copied from prints in a set of twenty-five by Adriaan Schoonebeek depicting events in the struggle for the British crown from the civil war to the coronation of William III and Mary II.
