Verklaring bij de spotprent op de prins en zijn aanhang, 1782 1782

This is a satirical broadside, or printed sheet, likely distributed during the period of unrest in the Dutch Republic known as the Patriottentijd (1780-1787). The anonymous artist’s work, now in the Rijksmuseum, denounces Prince William V of Orange, who was accused of plotting against the Dutch Republic, as well as his supporters, with its strongly worded text. The broadside uses a bold font to draw attention to its message and uses many Dutch words, including "Verklaring" (explanation), "spotprent" (caricature), "prins" (prince), and "aanhang" (followers) that would be useful for a full text search.
