Dees Nederlandsche Koe, altoos Waereld-grooten, Dutch political cartoon about the partitioning of the Netherlands shows the shorning and dismembering of the Nederlandsche cow. The Neerlands lion, an enraged Louis Bonaparte, King of Holland (with sword drawn), and a Gallic cock watch, while the Britsche Dog chews on a severed leg of a cow. A man with a crown at his feet (possibly Joseph Bonaparte, King of Spain) shears the cows horns with a large saw; a woman Katryn (possibly Catherine, de Wurtemberg, queen, consort of Jerome Bonaparte, King of Westphalia) takes a knife to the cows tail. Standing center is a woman holding a pike topped with a hat and standing on another hat. On the right, three women whip the bare buttocks of a man (possibly Frederick William III, King of Prussia) who is prostrate over a wheeled chair or throne. Above this scene floats a balloon with canoe shaped basket with two passengers

Dees Nederlandsche Koe, altoos Waereld-grooten - A Political Satire Unveiling the Partitioning of the Netherlands
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print from the Liszt Collection, we are transported back to a turbulent era in Dutch history. "Dees Nederlandsche Koe, altoos Waereld-grooten" is a powerful Dutch political cartoon that vividly portrays the disintegration and fragmentation of the beloved Nederlandsche cow. At its center stands an enraged Louis Bonaparte, King of Holland, brandishing his sword with fury. Alongside him, a Gallic cock and a fearsome British Dog observe as chaos unfolds. The Neerlands lion watches on helplessly as its once unified nation crumbles before its eyes. The scene is filled with symbolism; Joseph Bonaparte shears off the cow's majestic horns while Queen Katryn takes a knife to its tail. A woman standing tall wields a pike adorned with hats atop hats – perhaps representing power and authority being trampled upon. To add insult to injury, three women mercilessly whip Frederick William III, King of Prussia when he finds himself vulnerable over a wheeled chair or throne. Above this chaotic spectacle floats a balloon carrying two passengers in an unconventional canoe-shaped basket – an intriguing element that invites us to ponder further on hidden meanings within this artwork. This thought-provoking image serves as both historical documentation and artistic expression. It captures the anguish felt by those witnessing their country torn apart during these tumultuous times.
