This is the title page for the book "Chassé op het puin der Citadel van Antwerpen" (Chassé on the Rubble of the Citadel of Antwerp) by Cornelis Loots. It was published in 1833 by Johannes van der Hey en Zoon in Amsterdam. This book commemorates the Dutch General David Hendrik Chassé's defense of Antwerp's Citadel against a Belgian siege in 1832. Loots, a respected Dutch artist and member of the Royal Netherlands Institute, likely produced this book to celebrate the bravery of the Dutch army.
