"Titelpagina van het pamflet: Blaffert Tot opweckinge aller Princen van Europa, bysonder van hooch ende neder Duytschlandt, haer te versien teghens de Moortdadige Spaensche Regeeringhe, 1598" is an anonymous title page from 1599 depicting a scene of political turmoil. It references the assassination of the Count of Broeck in 1598 and the threat of the Spanish monarchy, utilizing both imagery and text to appeal to princes across Europe, especially in Germany, to take action against the growing power of Spain. This small, woodcut illustration provides a snapshot of the political landscape in the late 16th century, specifically highlighting the tensions between the Netherlands and the Spanish Empire.
