Intocht van de prins in Salisbury, 1688 1688 - 1689

This anonymous etching, created between 1688 and 1689, depicts the arrival of Prince William of Orange in Salisbury in 1688. The scene unfolds on a flat landscape, with a group of people waving hats and welcoming the Prince as he rides in on horseback. The inscription above the scene, "S.K.H. wert ingehaelt tot Salisbury," translates to "His Royal Highness is welcomed to Salisbury." This print, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides a valuable glimpse into the reception of William of Orange, a pivotal moment in the Glorious Revolution. The detailed composition and the use of a banner for the inscription highlight the importance of the event depicted in the etching.
