feen it without; bat more especially (it mav be
obferved) thai he has engraved the Charade: s of
the other Painters, done for the fame Book hinv
felf, but (perhaps modeftly) avoided the doing of
his own.
After the Death of King Charles the Firft, he
immediately grav'd his Picture, and feveral Loya-
lists 3 the King £ and the Duke of York his Mafter
coming into Flanders. Tenters drew the Duke's
Pidore, and Hollar engraved a Plate after it, which
is fcarce, being done in 1651, JEtat. 18.
Thus Hollar ftay'd a few Years chiefly at Ant-
werp, when abroad from England, and did feveral
Works, which may be di'cover'd by their Dates,
for which he was particularly remarkable more
than many other Engravers: However, after the
Death of his Patron, he continued working from
the Arundel Collection, but was paid by others ^
after P. Brill, many Landfcapes, fome dated 1650
and 1652, ex Arund. Coll. and publifhed by Mey-
fens; but meeting with fmall Encouragement there,
made him inclinable to return to England, the
Government feeming to him to be a little fettled,
and feveral Works there going forward, wherein
he was ufeful and neceflary, and no other Perfon
then capable of doing the like, by which Means
he might exped: to live better than elfewhere.
The firft Places done by him after his Return are
after fome Drawings of Julio Romano, and many
in Ogilbys Virgil; feveral Heads and Title Pages;
s He engraved King Charles the Second ftanding with Em-
blems; and afterwards made a Print of his Royal Mafter,
^Jacobus Dux Eboracenfis., Mtat. 18. 1651. Tenters pinx*
From the Scarcity of this Print, 'twas perhaps done for Tenters
the Painter.
