This 19th-century Dutch print by Theodorus Johannes Wijnhoven-Hendriksen is a striking example of a *letterpress* artwork. Each letter is formed by tiny figures and illustrations, creating a visually engaging narrative. The artwork's title, "Oud-Hollandsch moed en trouw" (Old-Dutch courage and loyalty), suggests a patriotic theme, potentially celebrating Dutch history and heroism. The detailed figures, vibrant color accents, and intricate typography of "Oud-Hollandsch moed en trouw" illustrate the flourishing of artistic printmaking in the Netherlands during this period.
