This 1784 engraving by an anonymous artist depicts a document issued by the Amsterdam Militia. The document, titled "Aan Amsterls Schutterye," details a silver commemorative medal given by J.A. de Roth, a captain of the Amsterdam Militia, to encourage the militia's commitment to protecting the city and the Dutch state. The document features two circular engravings, one depicting de Roth presenting the medal, the other showing a shield with the Dutch coat of arms, showcasing the importance of civic duty and national unity. This engraving provides a glimpse into the history and traditions of Amsterdam's militia in the late 18th century.
