This 1789 engraving by Johannes le Francq van Berkhey is a "Verklaring" (Explanation) for an allegorical print honoring the King of Prussia for his role in reinstating Willem V as Stadholder. The engraving features two long columns of text, framed by ornate borders, and a blank oval frame adorned with a ribbon, intended for an accompanying image. The print, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, serves as a testament to a pivotal moment in Dutch history, showcasing the political machinations that shaped the country's course.
