No Monarchy, No Popery is a 1690 ink by Romeyn de Hooghe, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image is a black-and-white print packed with tiny scenes. At the top, a woman in a crown is being pushed away by two strong figures. Below her, ships, crowds, and buildings fill the rest of the frame. Each small box shows a different moment—people arguing, boats sailing, and groups gathered in streets. The words at the top read *No Monarchy, No Popery*, which hints this print is making a political statement. The artist used sharp lines to show chaos and change, almost like a storybook of events.
