"Vreugdecourant bij zilveren huwelijk van de prins en prinses van Oranje, 1792" is a black and white print likely made in 1792 by the artist J. Peppelenbos. It depicts the Dutch newspaper "Neerlands Vreugde-Courant" which commemorates the silver wedding anniversary of the Prince and Princess of Orange, William V and Wilhelmina of Prussia. A tree sits above the title, with the profiles of William V and Wilhelmina, both encircled in laurel wreaths, on either side. This artwork is a significant cultural artifact, demonstrating the importance of the royal family in Dutch society and the use of media to commemorate important events.
