Spotprent op de opstand van de jonge pretendent, 1746 1746

"Spotprent op de opstand van de jonge pretendent, 1746" is an anonymous Dutch broadside from 1746, measuring 403 mm in height and 292 mm in width. The title, "WAARE EN AANMERKELYKE GESCHIEDENIS VAN DEN GEPRETENDEERDEN RIDDER VAN ST JORIS", translates to "True and Remarkable History of the Pretender, Knight of St. George." This broadside likely served as a form of political propaganda, using text and illustrations to disseminate information about the Jacobite rising of 1745-46, a rebellion led by Charles Edward Stuart, the "Young Pretender", to reclaim the British throne from the Hanoverian dynasty. This historical print serves as a valuable artifact of 18th-century Dutch political discourse.
