A relation in form of journal of the voiage and residence which the most excellent and most mighty prince Charles the II, King of Great Britain, &c hath made in Holland from the 25 of May to the 2 of June, 1660
A relation in form of a journal of Charles II's 1660 state visit to Holland, printed at The Hague by Adrian Vlack and compiled by William Lower and Abraham de Wicquefort with engravings by Cornelis van Dalen and Pieter Philippe for an audience of readers following the Restoration. The four engraved plates show crowded quayside processions under a cloud of putti bearing coats of arms, a heraldic cartouche flanked by lions amid dense acanthus scrollwork, a mounted cavalry review with ships offshore, and a formal assembly of men in cloaks beneath a canopy, all rendered in fine black-line engraving that suits designers wanting dense crowd scenes, heraldic ornament, and baroque border decoration.
