"Vreugdecourant bij de 43ste verjaardag van prinses Wilhelmina Frederica Louisa, 1794" is a broadside, an early form of printed news, published in the Netherlands to celebrate Princess Wilhelmina Frederica Louisa’s 43rd birthday. The broadside, likely printed between 1794 and 1798, is now in the Rijksmuseum and is an example of a type of printed ephemera that was used to celebrate events and to spread information in the 18th century. The artwork features an allegorical design with cherubs holding a cornucopia. Its text highlights the Princess's virtues and the prosperity of the Dutch state.
