This 1848 print by Met & Meylink is a depiction of the Prince of Orange's horse being injured at the Battle of Waterloo. This depiction, titled "Tableau, representant S.A.R. le Prince d'Orange, au moment ou le cheval de ce prince est blessé, a la journée de Bautersem, le 22 Août 1835; par C. Kruseman," is likely a printed reproduction of a popular painting of the time. It was published in Haarlem by Met and Meylink. The image is an example of historical printmaking in the 19th century, and was likely sold to a general audience interested in commemorating the important events of Dutch history.
