Spotprent op de Rotterdamse schutterij, 1830 1830 - 1831

"Spotprent op de Rotterdamse schutterij, 1830" is a satirical print by V. Dubrulle, created in 1830-1831. It depicts three caricatured figures representing the Rotterdam militia, with exaggerated features and postures, possibly mocking their appearance and military capabilities. This print serves as a visual commentary on the political climate of the time, likely reflecting the tensions surrounding the Belgian Revolution and the role of the Dutch military. The use of caricature and the inclusion of the caption "Les braves de Rotterdam allant à la conquête de la Belgique" (The brave men of Rotterdam going to conquer Belgium) further emphasizes the artist's satirical intent.
