Sir George Rooke played a significant role in several pivotal battles during the Third Anglo-Dutch War, including the Battle of Solebay and the Battle of Schooneveld. Known for his bravery and strategic prowess, he also participated in the Williamite War in Ireland and was instrumental in conveying Prince William of Orange to England. The image is taken from "Biographical Illustrations" by Alfred Howard, published by Thomas Tegg, R. Griffin and Co. , J. Cumming in London, Glasgow, and Dublin.
