Classification:
Maps & Atlas (printed)
Notes:
The seaport of Hull was an important 17th century English bulwark against naval attack or incursions of Scottish armies. After Hull turned against Charles I in 1640, the King twice (without success) besieged the town in 1642, the likely year of issue of the present print. Cf. Parry.
