This 1786 engraving by J. Voorman depicts a game board for a Dutch game called "Het Vaderlandsch Werp-Spel." The game board features a central image of a chest with a curtain behind it, surrounded by 17 round medallions representing various Dutch provinces. The medals are linked together by chains and ribbons, forming a decorative frame around the central image. This intricate design, featuring detailed illustrations of the provinces and their respective coats of arms, showcases the artist's skill in engraving. The game was likely popular in Dutch households, as it provided a fun and educational way to learn about the country's provinces and their history.
