Vreugdecourant bij de 23ste verjaardag van prins Willem I Frederik, 1794 Possibly 1794 - 1798

This is a broadside, or a single-sheet announcement, titled "Neerlands Vreugde-Courant," celebrating the 23rd birthday of Prince Willem I Frederik in 1794. The artwork, located in the Rijksmuseum, features a decorated title page announcing the occasion. The use of ornate lettering and the inclusion of a coat of arms, along with the visual flourish of the potted trees, indicate this was a public announcement meant to be displayed prominently. The text celebrates the Prince and his rule. This type of celebratory broadside was common in the 18th century and provides a fascinating glimpse into the public display of political and social events.
