Lot Essay

See M. Archer, Delftware, London, 1997, p. 78, fig. A9 for a smaller example in the Victoria and Albert Museum. Also see F. Britton, English Delftware in the Bristol Collection, London, 1982, p. 51 for an engraving by Cornelius van Dalen of Charles I entering Edinburgh. Here the author suggests that this print, first published in 1684 and adapted over time, may be the source for the present composition.
