Dees Nederlandsche Koe, altoos door Waereld-grooten

Dees Nederlandsche Koe, altoos door 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 the cow. A man with a crown at his feet (possibly Joseph Bonaparte, King of Spain) shears the cow's horns with a large saw; a woman Katryn (possibly Catherine, de Wurtemberg, queen, consort of Jerome Bonaparte, King of Westphalia) takes a knife to a hind leg; and another man (possibly Frederick William III, King of Prussia) takes a knife to the cow's 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 William V, Prince of Orange) who is prostrate over a wheeled chair or throne. Above this scene floats a balloon with canoe shaped basket with two passengers. Date 180-
