This 1850 print by Jan Schuitemaker depicts scenes from the reign of William I, King of the Netherlands, including a vignette of the Battle of Waterloo. The print is part of a series of "children's magazines" meant to teach young readers about Dutch history. Schuitemaker uses a simple black and white style to illustrate the events, focusing on the key figures and locations. The work is a good example of 19th-century Dutch printmaking and offers insight into how history was presented to children during this period.
