(GLORIOUS REVOLUTION.) Johannes van den Avelen. Waare Afbeeldinghe van de Rang en Ordre die de Nederlandsche Hulp-Vloot, Onder het Beleyd van S.K.H. de H.re P. van Orangie, Gehouden Heeft int Zeylen na Engeland; tot Herstellinge vande Onderdrukte Religie en Wetten, in de Koninkryke van Groot Brittanje; en ten Dien Eynde op den 11. November 1688, uyt Hellevoetsluys in Zee Geloopen. Large double-page etched arrangement of the Dutch auxiliary fleet in sailing order with the arms of Orange at top center with the motto "Prot. Religion and Liberty" between a banner title in Dutch and French. 20¼x24 inches sheet size, short margins; center fold reinforced on verso, small edge nicks and tears.-Amsterdam: Carel Allard, circa 1688
Impressive portrait of the Dutch Navy organized into squadrons as they sailed into England on November 11, 1688, led by Dutch Stadtholder William of Orange. The Protestant William was summoned to challenge the indulgent Catholic crown of James II; a task peaceably achieved, thus fitting William and his wife Mary II (daughter of James) on the throne as more constitutional monarchists.
An example of the print in the Rijksmuseum collection includes a separate printed broadside key to the ships pasted below the image. William's ship is at far left, labeled A, with his "Prot. Religion and Liberty" royal standard displayed aft.
