This anonymous Dutch broadside, "Het beklag over de Kruijwagen" (The Complaint about the Wheelbarrow), was printed in Leiden by Teun Tomifle in 1683-1684. This satirical broadside features a poem criticizing Theodorus Dominicus, a Dutch theologian, through the use of allegory. It highlights the religious tensions of the time, particularly the controversy surrounding Dominicus's views and his perceived hypocrisy, as he is metaphorically depicted being transported in a wheelbarrow toward the church. The text itself is a poem lamenting the corruption and falsehood within the church. The small size and the style of the broadside suggest it was intended for a wide audience, aiming to spread its message through informal channels.
