Titelpagina voor een pamflet van Johannes Rothe, 1674 1674

This 1674 engraving, created by an anonymous artist, is the title page for a pamphlet dedicated to William of Orange, Prince of Orange. The engraving depicts William standing tall on a platform with a large inscription of "DE GROOTE AFGODT IAN HOLLANT 1677" beneath him. This scene likely symbolizes the elevation of William to the rank of Prince, particularly amidst the political and religious turmoil of the time. The surrounding people, kneeling and bowing, suggest their reverence or submission to the newly declared Prince. This engraving offers a visual representation of William's ascendancy as a pivotal figure in Dutch history.
