This 1781-1828 print by Jan Hendriksen, titled "hier ziet ge een stoet van helden, uitgelezen, / Volgt hunne dapperheid, (...) wilt nooit geen vyand vreezen," depicts nine different military ranks, each illustrated with a soldier riding a horse. The print is organized into three rows of three, each showcasing a different rank, with a short description underneath each image. The engraving, measuring 412 mm x 336 mm, provides viewers with a visual representation of military hierarchy and its associated imagery. The piece is a valuable example of illustrative art from the late 18th and early 19th centuries, showcasing the cultural importance of military ranks during this period.
