This anonymous 1830-1831 etching, titled "Sleutel bij de prent van de beschieting van Antwerpen, 1830," details the bombardment of Antwerp during the Belgian Revolution. The work is a key to a larger print, clearly labeling different landmarks and ships. The artist uses simple lines to create a detailed and informative map of the scene, highlighting the "Kasteel," "Gier," "Comeet," "Euxodie," and "Kannonenboot" for viewers. The detailed key allows viewers to identify these and other features of the bombardment. This small yet important work, housed in the Rijksmuseum, serves as a valuable historical record and educational tool for understanding the 1830 Belgian Revolution.
