This 1831-1854 wood engraving by Erve H. Rynders, titled "De eerste prent vertoont het strijden/waarbij paard en ruiter viel./De andere schetst het uur der vreugde/voor de trouwe heldenziel," depicts two scenes from the Belgian Revolution. The top scene shows a fallen horse and rider, while the lower scene portrays soldiers chasing a fleeing civilian. The detailed narrative text surrounding the scenes provides historical context and patriotic sentiment. The artwork, now held in the Rijksmuseum, demonstrates the 19th century Dutch tradition of using engravings to document and celebrate national events.
