De oorlogs daden, der geallieerde, en Franse armee after 1763

This print, titled "The War Deeds, of the Allied, and French Armies," was made by Johannes Kannewet, a publisher in Delft, but the date of its creation remains unknown. Kannewet's print offers a glimpse into the visual culture of the time. The crude style, reminiscent of popular broadsides, suggests an appeal to a wide audience during a period of conflict. The scenes depicted, seemingly celebrating military victories, invite us to consider the politics of imagery in times of war. What narratives are being promoted here, and for what purpose? Understanding the social conditions that shaped this print requires further investigation. Researching the specific conflicts of the time and Kannewet's role as a publisher could reveal the broader context in which this image was created and consumed.
