Van held van Speyk wordt hier een tafereel gegeven, / Hij redde Oud-Hollands vlag ten koste van zijn leven 1848 - 1881

"Van held van Speyk wordt hier een tafereel gegeven, / Hij redde Oud-Hollands vlag ten koste van zijn leven," created by Lutkie & Cranenburg between 1848 and 1881, is a colorful woodcut depicting the heroic death of Dutch naval officer Jan van Speijk. The work is a series of panels illustrating the events of his life, from his early days at sea to his final sacrifice, in which he sacrificed himself to save the Dutch flag during a battle with Belgian forces. This artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, uses a sequential narrative style common to early comic strips, offering a visual account of a significant historical event.
