Allegorie op de Tweede Engelse Oorlog, 1666 1877 - 1879

This small artwork, titled "Allegorie op de Tweede Engelse Oorlog, 1666" and created by Emrik & Binger between 1877 and 1879, is a handwritten poem that is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. The poem depicts a story about a Lion and his garden and his interactions with a 'Fidel', a fox, and a 'Reinard', a badger. The poem is an allegory, as its title suggests, and references a specific historical event: the second Anglo-Dutch War, which took place in 1666. The poem is written in Dutch and is small in size, measuring 215mm x 300mm.
