Komt, jongelingen komt, wilt gy de wapens dragen, / Kies maar uw eigen zin, wat uw strekt tot behagen, / Het zy een curassier, ulaan of een huzaar, / Verkiest gy een lanssier, de dienst is voor uw klaar 1842 - 1866

This 19th-century Dutch print, created by the widow C. Kok-van Kolm, features four images of mounted soldiers. Each image depicts a different type of cavalry, including a Cuirassier, Ulaan, Hussar, and Lansier. The print is a recruiting poster that encourages young men to enlist in the Dutch military. The images are accompanied by verses in Dutch, which highlight the courage and patriotism of the soldiers. The artwork exemplifies the genre of military illustration, and its detailed portrayal of uniform and equipment would have resonated with a contemporary audience. The print can be found at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
