Charles II, his queen and the courtiers and ministers of the Restoration appear in these Victorian engravings after portraits by Sir Peter Lely (1618–1680), the leading portrait painter in England in his day. They were published chiefly by Tallis in 1849 and 1853 for a series of historical portraits. Charles II, Catherine of Braganza and Anne Hyde appear with Arlington, Clarendon, Albemarle, Southampton and Sandwich, and the group also includes Frances Teresa Stuart and Sarah Jennings. The paintings are attributed to Lely; the prints are later reproductions.
