This 19th-century broadside, created by Dutch artists Lutkie & Cranenburg, is a vibrant example of *volkskunst* (folk art). The print, titled *Dee’z prent vertoont in menig beeld / Oud-Hollands roen in vroeger dagen; / En hoe der vad’ren heldenteelt, / Het leven steeds voor ‘t land dorst wagen*, depicts a series of historical scenes from Dutch history, using simple but bold illustrations and rhyming text. The work was likely created for popular consumption, aiming to instill a sense of national pride and history in its viewers. The Rijksmuseum houses this artwork.
