Henricus Mouthaen created this print, “Tekstblad met verzen en een lijst van de slachtoffers gevallen aan Staatse zijde bij de slag bij de Leffingedijk, 1600,” commemorating a military engagement through text and image. The print depicts the battle of Leffingedijk, a conflict during the Eighty Years' War between the Dutch Republic and Spain. Mouthaen presents a bird's eye view of the clash. Below this, the victims on the Dutch side are honored in verse. The text serves to memorialize the Dutch soldiers, positioning them as heroes in the fight for independence. The image and text work together to construct a narrative of sacrifice and national identity. It highlights the human cost of war, while also emphasizing the importance of the struggle for freedom. Mouthaen's print offers insight into how historical events were perceived and memorialized in the early modern period.
