Boek bij de spotprent op het huwelijk van voormalige koning Willem I met de gravin d'Oultremont, 1841 1841

This 1841 print is a satirical pamphlet published in Amsterdam to commemorate the marriage of King Willem I of the Netherlands to Countess d'Oultremont. The title page, likely created by an anonymous artist, mocks the event by referring to the King as a "cheese merchant" and his new wife as "Thunderclap." It is a satirical commentary on the marriage which was viewed negatively in the Dutch public, and reflects the political climate of the time. This small, printed piece is a testament to the power of satire to challenge societal norms and spark public debate.
