Charles II on his way back to the throne: a lavishly illustrated contemporary account of his triumphant 1660 journey through Holland and departure from Scheveningen for England, marking the dramatic beginning of the Restoration.

An important and lavishly illustrated contemporary account of Charles II’s celebrated visit to the Dutch Republic in May 1660, immediately before his restoration to the English throne. After years of exile on the Continent, Charles travelled from Breda through the Dutch Republic to Scheveningen, from where he embarked for England. His departure marked the dramatic conclusion of the English Interregnum and the beginning of the Restoration monarchy.

The work records the elaborate receptions, banquets, processions and ceremonies organised in Charles’s honour. Particularly important are the six large engravings documenting events at Delft, The Hague and Scheveningen. They provide a vivid visual record of the political theatre surrounding the Restoration and of the crucial Dutch role in Charles II’s return to power. The contemporary vellum binding and the presence of the separately published celebratory poem Anglia triumphans make this an especially attractive historical ensemble.

Folio. [4], 108 pp. Contemporary full vellum. Illustrated with an engraved portrait and six large engraved plates showing the festivities and ceremonies at Delft, The Hague and Scheveningen, engraved by Philippe and Mathem after Jacob Toorenvliet. Bound with: Robert Keuchenius, Anglia triumphans, sive in inaugurationem (…) Caroli II (…) poemation. The Hague, Adriaen Vlacq, 1660. 36 pp.
