This 1691 etching by Dutch artist Romeyn de Hooghe, titled *Overwinning van Willem III aan de Boyne, 1690*, depicts the Battle of the Boyne. The etching is a detailed map of the battlefield, framed by figures representing King William III and Queen Mary II, and lists of participating regiments. De Hooghe was known for his political prints, and this piece celebrates William III's victory over James II in this key battle in the Williamite War in Ireland. The print is in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, and is a good example of the use of visual media to communicate political events in the 17th century.
