This print, *Hoekse en Kabeljauwse twisten in Graafschap Holland*, by Gerardus Johannes Bos, depicts a series of historical events. These events refer to the Hooks and Cod wars, a period of political upheaval in the County of Holland during the 14th and 15th centuries. Bos uses a distinct style of illustration, capturing the essence of the events in a series of vignettes, creating a visual narrative of this turbulent period in Dutch history. The print is a valuable source of information about the events and how they were perceived by the artist and his contemporary audience. The print's placement in the Rijksmuseum testifies to its historical and artistic significance.
