This anonymous engraving, *Vaandels, standaarden en ketel trommen* (Flags, Standards, and Kettle Drums), likely created between 1713 and 1717, is a detailed depiction of the flags and other military symbols captured by the Dutch during a period of warfare. The image is composed of an organized grid of various flags, banners, and drums, offering a glimpse into the visual language of military identification and signaling in the early 18th century. This artwork, housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides a valuable historical record of Dutch military prowess and the symbolic importance of flags during a period of conflict.
