EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking handcolored copperplate engraving, titled "Prince of Orange (Dranien), 1572, with his Command Staff and a French Businessman, 1581," is an intriguing glimpse into the political and commercial interactions between the Netherlands and France during the late 16th century. The central figure is the Prince of Orange, also known as Maurice of Nassau, who is depicted in regal attire, surrounded by his command staff. Maurice was a military leader and statesman, renowned for his military tactics and diplomatic skills. He played a crucial role in the Dutch Revolt against Spanish rule, which began in 1568. The presence of a French businessman in this scene adds an interesting layer to the image. It suggests that despite the ongoing conflict between the Netherlands and France, commercial ties still existed. The businessman is dressed in the latest fashion of the time, with a long, flowing cloak and a wide-brimmed hat. He holds a large bag, possibly containing valuable goods, and interacts with the prince and his staff, indicating a level of familiarity and trust. This engraving is taken from Robert von Spalart's "Historical Picture of the Costumes of the Principal People of Antiquity and of the Middle Ages," published in 1796. Spalart was a renowned artist and antiquarian, known for his meticulous attention to detail and his extensive knowledge of historical costumes. This image provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering insights into the political and commercial relationships between two major European powers during a time of great upheaval.
