Rare Dutch account of the reception of the English prince Charles by the Spanish king Philip IV
in 1623 in order to conclude the Spanish Match: “The climax of the ensuing decade of high-level
negotiation to secure a marriage between the leading Protestant and Catholic royal families of
Europe occurred in 1623 in Madrid, with the embassy of the Prince Charles and James’s favourite,
George Villiers, 1st Duke of Buckingham. The wedding never took place despite the signing of
a marriage contract by King James; criticism instead led to the dissolution of Parliament.”

Rare ed. of the Dutch trsl. of the famous “Eikon basilikè” (“The image of the King”), that was publ.
within a few days after the execution of Charles I on 30 January 1649. The work offers in the voice
of the imprisoned king, a sentimental and self-exonerating account of his rule, and particularly of
his conflict with the parliament. The main author was probably clergyman John Gauden. Woodcut
royal arms on title. Title within ruled border. Gothic type.
