About the Item
Two images of Queen Catharina of Braganza; one before her marriage to King Charles II, the other after, as Queen of Great Britian. Engraved by Matthiäus Merian, father of Maria Syblilla Merian, after images by Dirk Stoop.
Full title: The Queen of Great Britain arriving in Portsmouth 25 May 1662 & The Arrival in London of the King and Queen from Hampton Court to Whitehall along the River Thames 23 August 1662.; Two views from Theatrum Europaeum.
Engraving printed on two sheets of horizonally-joined, hand made laid paper (as issued), one sheet bearing a crudely formed heraldic watermark with a crown surrounded by 10 small orbs. 12 x 15 3/4 inches (303 x 338 mm), 1/4-inch to 1-inch margins. General toning, handling wear, soft creasing, and some marginal insect damage at the lower-center sheet which is outside of the image area and repaired with modern, archival mending tape. There are two remnants of archival paper tape at the right and left sheet edges on the recto, outside of the image area. All condition issues are consistent with age.
The top image depicts the arrival of Queen Catharina of Braganza in Portsmouth, were she was greeted by King Charles II, whom she was soon to marry. The lower image shows the newly married couple arriving as guests at Whitehall. The images are two from a series of seven by Dirk Stoop, depicting the journey of Catharina of Braganza from Lisbon to England.
Matthäus Merian the Elder (22 September 1593 - 19 June 1650) was a Swiss engraver born in Basel. Beginning his career in Zürich, he went on to study and work in various cities throughout France. In 1616, Merian relocated to Frankfurt to work for the publisher Johann Theodor de Bry. Merian later married de Bry's daughter. Merian was the father of Maria Sibylla Merian, one of the greatest natural history artists of the late 17th and early 18th centuries.

Matthäus Merian the Elder
Matthäus Merian is one of the most respected Swiss/German artists and engravers of the 17th century. In addition to creating a large number of illustrations and maps, he passed his knowledge and skill to his children, who followed in the family tradition. His son Matthäus Merian, the Younger was an accomplished engraver. His daughter Maria Sybella Merian in addition to becoming a prominent artist, became one of the greatest woman scientists of the 18th century as an entomologist. Her engravings of insects in their natural habitats are as sought after by collectors as are her father's illustrations.
