Penning op de Overtocht van Karel II in 1660 1683 - 1733

This engraving by Bernard Picart, created between 1683 and 1733, depicts a commemorative medal for the return of Charles II to England in 1660. The medal's design features a cityscape, likely of London, with cherubs holding shields representing the English monarchy. The inscription around the edge of the medal, “IN PACE M. LE BOSC. & BELIUM,” alludes to the peace treaty ending the English Civil War. The etching's detailed representation of the cityscape, including the architectural details of the buildings, offers a glimpse into 17th-century architecture and city planning.
