Langendijk, Dirk (Rotterdam 1748-1805). Original drawing - Battle scene of cavalry and infantry, a church in the background. Oblong 8vo. ca. 19 x 15 cm. Very fine, original pen and wash drawing, in greys with some use of colour, signed and dated 1802.
Lively battle scene, the cavalry heavily attacking, one cavalrist blowing a trumpet, and another carrying the flag, with broken canon wheels and dead soldiers, a horse lying in the foreground, and in the middle, lighted by the fire of the infantry, cavalry and other troops attacking from all sides, amidst large clouds and a church seen far away in the background. Dirk Langendijk (1748-1805), was born in Rotterdam and is especially known for his fine drawings of battle scenes. He and his equally famous artist son Jan Anthonie Langendijk (1780-1818), often drew from nature. Both are regarded as the most important Dutch painters of military scenes documenting the French revolutionary and the Napoleonic wars in the Low Countries. His drawings were already collected during his life-time.
Upper right corner with very small damage, however - A good copy. - Cf. Atlas van Stolk 3857-3858 (drawings of similar battle scenes); Hans van Leeuwen Coll. II, 355 (drawing of a similar battle scene); see also: Dirk Langendijk (1748-1805), tekenaar tussen kruitdamp en vaderlands gevoel, Rotterdam, 1982.

Bulstrode Whitlocke's "Memorials of the English Affairs" is a rare, late 17th-century account of the political events that occurred in England during the reigns of Charles I, Oliver Cromwell, and Charles II. The title itself claims that to book includes military and civil interests, as well as secrets of the royal cabinet; however, this book is also a supreme source on the 'Puritan Revolution' or English Civil War.
Found within its contents are detailed descriptions of the events leading up to, during, and after the English Civil Wars, all from the Parliamentary perspective. Recorded are various speeches and events surrounding the conflict between Charles I, Oliver Cromwell, and the English government. Among these events include a record of the trial and execution of Charles I, the establishment of Oliver Cromwell as Lord Protector, and the 1660 restoration of the monarchy in Charles II.

William Dugdale was 17th-century English historian known for his works of antiquity of English aristocracy and monastics. While not his most notable work, 'Troubles in England'
is a treatise written to describe the wars that influenced Europe and England during the 17th-century. Dugdale correlates three wars – English Civil War, Barons' War, and the French Wars of Religion – and how they related to each other. Interestingly, the DNB notes that this work was "written throughout in a strain of animosity to all who took the anti-royalist side." However, this work isnotable for its accuracy.
