"Meiboom geplant door de Haagse Schutterij, 1763," a 1763 etching by Caspar Jacobsz. Philips, depicts a series of eight scenes related to the traditional Dutch Maypole celebration in The Hague. The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Philips' skill in capturing the lively atmosphere of this community event, emphasizing the ceremonial planting of the Maypole by the Hague's city guard. It exemplifies the Dutch tradition of commemorating spring and offers a unique glimpse into the social life of 18th-century The Hague.
