Verklaring bij de prent met het huldeblijk aan koning Willem I, 1815 1815 - 1816

This anonymous 1815-16 print from the Rijksmuseum, titled "Verklaring bij de prent met het huldeblijk aan koning Willem I", is a text-based work that celebrates King Willem I of the Netherlands. It commemorates the restored and unified nation after the Napoleonic Wars and his role in leading the nation to its former glory. The title page includes a dedication "National Gedenklat van Dank en Kunst, naar de Schilderij van den Ridder L.W. Fieneman". This suggests it accompanied a painting by L.W. Fieneman, likely depicting the king, and was a form of visual propaganda intended to raise public support for the new government.
