"Vlucht van de koningin met de prins van Wales, 1688" is an anonymous engraving from 1689 depicting the escape of King James II and his son, the Prince of Wales, from England to France in 1688. The artwork, part of the Rijksmuseum collection, portrays the dramatic events in two scenes. The top scene shows the King and Prince embarking a boat at the River Thames, while the bottom scene shows the royal pair transferring to a French ship for their journey to Calais. This historical engraving provides insight into the events of the Glorious Revolution and the political upheaval that characterized the end of the 17th century.
