This is the title page of a pamphlet published in 1599, created by an anonymous artist, which is currently located in the Rijksmuseum. The page is a visual representation of the Dutch Revolt, with an image depicting four foxes, perhaps symbolizing the provinces of the Dutch Republic. The image is accompanied by text that addresses the "Afgewekene Provintien" (the provinces that had separated from the Spanish Netherlands) and warns them about the dangers of treachery. The pamphlet is a valuable historical artifact that sheds light on the complex political landscape of the late 16th century in the Netherlands.
