An impartial collection of the great affairs of state : from the beginning of the Scotch rebellion in the year MDCXXXIX. to the murther of King Charles I. Wherein the first occasions, and the whole series of the late troubles in England, Scotland, & Ireland, are faithfully represented. Taken from authentick records, and methodically digested,
John Nalson's 1682 London folio collects state papers on the Scottish rebellion and the troubles in England, Scotland and Ireland up to Charles I's execution, published by S. Mearne and partners with engravings by Robert White. The four pictures are small framed plates, each showing a numbered section above a dated caption of 1640 with a curled bracket beneath, a plain record-keeping device a designer could borrow for numbered sequences or timeline labels.
