An engraving of Henry Frederick, Prince of Wales. Three quarter length with closed ruff, embroidered doublet and mantle, with George on ribbon around his neck, standing with his left hand resting on the hilt of a sword. With drapery in the background and the Prince of Wales feathers above. This is a second state with the plate reduced from whole to three quarter length.

This print is lettered along the bottom: "NATURE and Fate made this PRINCE high, and low, / O! hatefull love, to make and marre hym so: // Yet (maugre Fate, and Nature) Grace and FAME, / Keepes Death beneathe his heavn'-exalted name. // Are to be sould in Popes head Alley, by Ioh: Sudb: and Geor: Humble."; at the lower right: "J.D."

The print formed part of an album of British royal portrait prints assembled by Cassiano and his younger brother Carlo Antonio dal Pozzo in Rome. Described in an early nineteenth-century inventory of prints in George III's library as Kings of England and their Families from Henry VII to James II, the album was arranged chronologically, with kings and their consorts together. It was dismantled later in the nineteenth century and its prints incorporated into the series of Engraved Royal Portraits (organised dynastically).
