This 1815 broadside, “Oproep om te strijden in het leger van Willem I Frederik, koning der Nederlanden, door het bestuur van de stad Vlaardingen,” (Call to Fight in the Army of William I Frederick, King of the Netherlands, by the Administration of the City of Vlaardingen), was created by Dutch artist Hendrik Luidwijn van Linden van den Heuvell. The artwork is a printed document, possibly a public announcement, printed in Dutch, calling for citizens of Vlaardingen to join the military. The artist was a prolific engraver and draftsman, and this broadside shows the influence of his signature style. The artwork is a significant example of the impact of war and nationalism on art in the Netherlands.
