De vlugt van 't pausdom uit Engelant, Hooghe, Romeyn de, 1645-1708, artist, [1689], 1 print (broadside) : etching with letterpress., Print shows Louis XIV, with peg leg, riding a bear, leading the flight of catholicism from England; he moves to draw his sword to strike a lion, as a cock on his head is attacked by an eagle. Father Petre follows riding a large dog harnessed to a wagon carrying the royal family, James II, the queen, and James Francis, their infant son, known as the Pretender, holding a windmill. The dog defecates on the crown. A black imp with bellows harasses Father Petre. Pantagion with sword drawn and bomb shooting hat brings up the rear riding a wolf. In the middle distance is a long line of priests and monks fleeing London. In the upper right corner, Pope Innocent XI wheels in a bishop.
