De Vernietiging van de Oude Constitutie, decoratie op de Botermarkt, 1795 1795

This anonymous 1795 print depicts a decorative structure built on the Botermarkt (Butter Market) in Amsterdam. It is likely that the structure was built to celebrate an alliance between the Dutch and a foreign power. The image highlights the building's structure, particularly its gothic arches and statues, which are characteristic of Dutch architecture of the period. The elaborate design of the structure, visible through its intricate details, suggests a celebration of the alliance. The print is a valuable historical record of the decorative practices in 18th-century Amsterdam, and offers a glimpse into the city's celebration of political alliances.
