This 18th-century print, "Lang Leeve Oranje / Willem de Vde," is a celebratory piece depicting Willem V, the Prince of Orange, on horseback. Created by the Erven de Weduwe Jacobus van Egmont, the image is surrounded by a laurel wreath, symbolizing victory and glory. The print's title, "Long Live Orange," highlights the dedication to the House of Orange-Nassau and their reign during this period in Dutch history. The print's vibrant colors and detailed imagery would have likely been displayed proudly within Dutch homes, showcasing national pride and loyalty.
