This 1660 print, created by an anonymous artist, is a textual document that provides a detailed account of the departure of King Charles II of England from Scheveningen, Netherlands, to England. The text details the political climate and the circumstances surrounding the king's return, likely following his exile during the English Civil War. The print, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a significant historical artifact offering insights into the political and social landscape of 17th-century England. The small size of the print, measuring just 112 mm in height and 170 mm in width, underscores its nature as a printed broadside meant for widespread distribution.
