This 1674 engraving by Isaac Sorious depicts a celebration of the seven provinces of the Dutch Republic, titled "De 17 provincien met aangrenzende landen: Vuurwerk in Den Haag, 1674," which translates to "The 17 provinces with neighboring countries: Fireworks in The Hague, 1674." The top half of the work illustrates the event as a map of the provinces, while the bottom half depicts the fireworks display held in the Hague that year. The scene is depicted with great detail, including a variety of fireworks and a procession of figures. The work is a significant example of Dutch art and culture from the 17th century. The work can be seen at the Rijksmuseum.
