Maart 1849

"Maart" is a 1849 engraving by Friedrich Robert Prinz. It depicts a series of events from Dutch history in March. The top image shows a group of people, with a caption mentioning "HAGSCHE CONFENTIE" and "Hevige twist over de leer". This suggests a religious debate or dispute within the Dutch Reformed Church. The middle illustration portrays a portrait, with text indicating "DOOD VAN WILLIEM III". This refers to the death of William III, the King of England, Scotland, and Ireland. The bottom panel features a group of individuals carrying a chest, with a caption reading "DE GROOT IN EEN BOEKENKIST WEGGEDRAGEN." This likely alludes to a significant event or figure associated with carrying a chest or coffin, potentially a burial or transportation of a valuable item.
