= An 18th century restrike, with the original plate shortened on the right side, w. loss of the 5 men and the artist's name. This state not mentioned in Hollstein. With the collector's mark of J.H. Jurriaanse (1866-1940) on verso (Lugt 1403b).
78 5764 Bry J Th de 1561 1623 
- Doubled.
= Rare. Hollstein 15, 1st state (of 3?). With the collector's marks of J.H. Jurriaanse (1866-1940) (Lugt 1403b) and P.W. van Doorne (1896-1971) (Lugt 4731) and an older annotation/ name (?) in brown pen and ink.
Idem. Marching soldiers, in the centre an armoury car. Engraving, 5,4x24,2 cm.
- Tiny repaired hole in image.
= Very rare. This is very probably Wurzbach 21/ Hollstein 28, the title correctly only mentions one armoury car; Hollstein mentions that Wurzbach 15 and 21 are identical, which is almost correct. It is the same print as Hollstein 15, but shortened on the right side, without the three figures of Death and the second wagon. The Augsburg publisher Jeremias Wollf (1663-1724) printed the longer version and added his address. This shortened version was perhaps also published by him or by another 18th century printer. With the same collector's marks as above. SEE ILLUSTRATION PLATE LXXVII.

- Sm. tear in lower blank margin (in caption); sl. soiled.
= Very rare, only one other copy traced. One of the various contemporary caricatures on the 'Queen Caroline affair' in which king George IV of Great Britain tried to divorce from his wife Caroline of Brunswick by putting her on trial (August 1820) in the House of Lords for adultery. This trial coincided with the social unrest in the UK which culminated in the Peterloo Massacre (1819). In the aftermath the government tried to quel the unrest by introducing six acts to prevent any radical reform or revolutionary movements. This made the king and government very unpopular, which is why many favoured the queen in her case against the king as a way of protest, as shown in this caricature.

78 5778 Caricature Hunin J 1770 1851 
78 5778 Caricature Hunin J 1770 1851 
= A rare Belgian folk print. Since medieval times there has been a tradition that during processions in the city of Mechelen a large puppet is carried around and tossed up in the air, a so-called 'Vuile bruidegom' or 'Sotscop'. According to contemporary sources in 1775 the puppet was tossed accidently into the audience along the route, when a man, a 'Jacobus de Leeuw' from Antwerp, caught or tried to deflect the incoming puppet. The bystanders accused him of stealing the puppet and beat him up. He was held in captivity but managed to escape back to Antwerp. The puppet was from then on, called an Op-Signoorken (derived from the derogatory nickname sinjoren for people from Antwerp) and was kept in a box or cabinet with lock for fear of theft. The artist has created other prints with this subject, so it was perhaps published as a yearly premium.

Journal du Manneken was a Brussels periodical published by Jobard and renamed in 1829 Lindustriel ou Revue des Revues.
