                                       Funeral of Charles the First, 1648.
Four bearers of gentle blood, belonging to the King's late household, in deep mourning, carried the coffin on their shoulders ; the pall was sustained by the Duke of Richmond, the Earl of Hertford, and the Lords Lindsay and Southampton.
The afternoon had been clear and bright till the coffin was carried out of the hall when snow began to fall.  The Roundhead Whichcott, then Governor of the regal seat of Windsor, rudely interrupted Bishop juxon, who, with open book, met the coffin reverentially.  Whichcott prevented him from reading the beautiful service of the Church of England as profane and papistical.

Condition of Engraving Very Good, with a Damp stain in the Margin. (See Photo).
