= "According to comics collector and bibliographer Hans Matla, the oldest Dutch comics album is the protest document called Aanleiding tot den Engelsch-Transvaalschen Oorlog (...)." (N. Maas in P. Lefèvre and C. Dierick (ed.), Forging a New Medium p.74f). Maas proves this to be untrue, but still it remains a rare and early comics album and a humorous pro-Boer explanation of the causes of the Boer-war.
