Executie der Conspirateurs Tegens de Persoon des Konings van Engeland.
P. v d B. in fec. [Pieter van den Berge.]
[n.d., c.1700.]
Rare engraving. Sheet 190 x 280mm (7½ x 11"). Binding folds, repaired tear top left.
A scene of the hanging, drawing and quartering of 'conspirators against the person of the king of England', probably the Monmouth rebels of 1685, against James II. From the offset on the reverse, this is likely to have been published in the 'Europische Mercurius', a Dutch newspaper. After the Glorious Revolution of 1688 any adverse view of James was widely disseminated.
