This 18th-century print, likely from the Netherlands, is a poem dedicated to Louis, Duke of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel. The poem, written in Dutch, celebrates the Duke's leadership and heroism, highlighting his importance to the state. Its simple typography and the use of a decorative border characteristic of Dutch prints from this period make it a prime example of the genre. The work, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, serves as a window into the cultural and political climate of 18th-century Europe.
