This print, created by Lutkie & Cranenburg between 1848 and 1881, depicts a series of eight mounted figures, each identified with a name and title. The print features simplified, detailed illustrations of prominent figures during the Dutch revolution, showcasing their attire and military rank. The title, "De Koning aan het hoofd de prinsen in het veld; / Zoo worden Hollands eer en wapenroem hersteld," translates to "The King at the head of the princes in the field; / Thus Holland's honor and martial glory are restored," suggesting a celebration of Dutch military victories and leadership. This print is an example of 19th-century illustrative art, likely intended for a general audience to communicate and celebrate historical events.
