This anonymous Dutch broadside from 1630-1635, titled "Tekstblad bij de prent van het visioen van de ondergang van Spanje," is a commentary on the decline of Spain. Printed in the Netherlands, this text was likely produced during the Eighty Years' War, a period of great conflict between the Dutch and Spanish empires. It discusses the reasons for Spain's downfall, ranging from religious dissent to military losses. This broadside, now held in the Rijksmuseum, offers a unique insight into Dutch perceptions of Spanish decline and the political landscape of the 17th century.
