"Spotprent op de vermeende Fransgezindheid van Amsterdam, 1690" (1877-1879) is a satirical print by the artists Emrik & Binger. It depicts a chaotic scene, likely referencing the alleged pro-French sentiments in Amsterdam during the 17th century. The print features a carriage pulled by two horses, one of which is labeled "Dronkenschap" (Drunkenness), representing the Dutch people. The other horse represents French influence, symbolized by "Erflucht" (inheritance). This work is a form of political caricature, using exaggeration and symbolism to criticize the perceived pro-French leanings of Amsterdam.
