Etched by Richd Sawyer
These copies are from portions of an extremely rare print by Visscher, the apparent circumstances of which evince it to have been taken early in the reign of King James 1st many years prior to Hollar's time. For the loan of this very rare curious relic the publisher is endebted to the liberality of John Dent, Esq., M.P. & F.A.S.; in whose magnificent library it is deposited. The lowermost view is the more extensively interesting as it exhibits the manner of a Royal procession by water of which it is apprehended no delineation of an earlier date is now extant.
