FIRST WORK:
[4], 24; [28] pp. 15 (of 16) cards with beautiful chalcographic tables.
First and only edition of a series of illustrations of the decorations displayed during the installation of William IV, Prince of Orange, who in 1747 became Stadtholder of all the United Provinces and general and admiral in the Dutch army and navy. Around 1740 the Dutch Republic was embroiled in the War of the Austrian Succession, which resulted in the occupation of Estates Flanders (the northern part of Flanders, part of the Dutch Republic since the Eighty Years' War) by the French in 1747. This caused enormous unrest in the Republic as this fully revealed the weakness of the Dutch defences, leading to a strong desire for the restoration of the stadtholderate. When this was restored by the inauguration of William IV it ended the Second Stadtholderless Period (1702-1747). the Berlin Kat. 2962-2963; Landwehr, Splendid Ceremonies 215-216; Muller, Historieplaten 3868; Praz, pp. 558-559; ad 2: STCN (3 copies).
