Caption continues: For the loan of this very curious relic the publisher is indebted to the liberality of John Dent, Esq; M.P. & F.A.S.; in whose magnificent library it is deposited. The lowermost view is the more extensively interesting as it exhibits the manner of a Royal procession by water of which it is apprehended no delineation of an earlier date is now extant.
