De vrijheids-boom wordt ingewyd; / En oud en jong toont zich verblyd, / Daar Amstels maagden onder 't zingen, / Hem, danssend hand aan hand, omringen 1715 - 1813

This 18th-century engraving, titled "De vrijheids-boom wordt ingewyd," depicts a scene of celebration and unity in the Netherlands. Created by the heirs of Cornelis Stichter, the print shows a central liberty tree adorned with ribbons inscribed with the words "BROEDERSCHAP" (Brotherhood), "VRYHEID" (Freedom), and "GELYKHEID" (Equality). The scene is populated by figures dancing and interacting, symbolizing the joy and togetherness associated with the establishment of a free society. The engraving is a powerful testament to the ideals of the Dutch Enlightenment.
