Februari 1849

"Februari" is an 1849 work by Friedrich Robert Prinz (1820-?), a small-scale print measuring 155 mm in height and 95 mm in width. The artwork consists of a series of four small illustrations depicting various historical events from Dutch history, with the corresponding dates and a short description. The illustration style is simple but evocative, using black and white lines to convey key moments in Dutch history. This work offers a visual narrative of significant historical events in Dutch history, including the death of the playwright Joost van den Vondel, the capture of the ship "Kormantijn" by the Dutch admiral Michiel de Ruyter, and the refusal of the governor Sonoy to grant the stadtholder Maurits access to Medemblik.
