Folger-specific note
From dealer's description: "Print, mezzotint (sheet approx. 15 x 19.5cm, platemark 13.2 x 18.4cm) small early ink inscription at head in margin “Jacob II”, faint old ink inscription at foot of sheet in margin “234”, blank verso with some old adhesions at tips of corners, very good. A very good example of this scarce Dutch mezzotint portrait of king James II of England (1633-1701). Depicted c.1690 after his flight to France after the Glorious Revolution as a “fugitive king,” in armour, the accompanying Dutch verse describes his state of destitution. This mezzotint was engraved and published by the Amsterdam printmaker Pieter Shenck (1660-1719). For a similar print published in Amsterdam by Jacob Gole (1660-c.1724), see: BM 1902,1011.7556."
