Spotprent op de dood van Jacobus II, 1701 1690 - 1701

This etching by Pieter van den Berge, titled "Spotprent op de dood van Jacobus II, 1701", depicts the deathbed of James II, King of England, in 1701. The scene takes place at the Château de Saint-Germain-en-Laye, where the deposed king was living in exile. The etching is a satirical commentary on the events surrounding the death of James II and provides valuable insights into the political climate of the time. The image is likely an example of a "Broadside" a type of printed media that became popular in Europe during the 17th and 18th centuries.
