Siege of Liverpool 1644: Prince Rupert Postscript

 Following the comments and discussion on my previous post, I liked the idea of interweaving a couple of the emerging threads (see what I did there?).

Accordingly, here is an alternative view of Prince Rupert, featuring his signature neckwear, with acknowledgement to well-known earlier works by Gerrit van Honthorst and Alfred Edmeades Bestall, and very special thanks to my good friend Peter at PaK Cartoons.
