"Aankomst van de prins te Rotterdam, 1785" is an anonymous engraving depicting the arrival of Willem V, Prince of Orange, in Rotterdam on August 6, 1785. The print shows a large crowd of people gathered on the shore and in boats, all waving and cheering as the prince's boat approaches. This historical print is a valuable document of the 18th-century Dutch society and its reaction to the prince’s arrival, as well as a charming example of the visual culture of the time.
