The 20 images, created by the graphic artist Wenceslaus Hollar in 1661, illustrate the restored Stuart king's procession to Westminster Abbey.

Ms Southon said the "fascinating" artworks showed "the full procession including the Duke of York, the full Royal Household, aristocracy and King Charles II" along with the royal crown, orb and sceptre.
