EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases the historic journey of the Ships militia company as they traveled from Leiden to Grave in 1622. The image captures a significant moment in time, with eight majestic ships that carried the militia anchored in the Waal on September 26th, 1622. The purpose of this voyage was to keep the city occupied so that Maurits, Prince of Orange, could move to Bergen op Zoom for relief. This series of three prints documents various aspects of the journey undertaken by the Leidse Schutterij militia company. The artist Cornelis Liefrinck (II) skillfully captured this scene through an etching on paper measuring 210 mm high and 345 mm wide. The absence of verses under the plate allows viewers to focus solely on appreciating and understanding this historical event. This remarkable print not only highlights troop movements and transportation during that era but also provides insight into how cities were strategically managed during times of conflict. It serves as a valuable piece of Northern Netherlands' history and offers a glimpse into life during this period. The attention to detail exhibited by both Liefrinck's artistic talent and historical accuracy makes this print an exceptional addition to any collection or exhibition dedicated to preserving our past.
