Notes |
The print refers to the tyranny of the Duke of Alba in the Netherlands, and his institutition of the Council of Troubles, which was nicknamed the Council of Blood. In 1572 the Gueux (Dutch freedom fighters) captured most of Holland and Zeeland, and the Prince of Orange and his brother Louis of Nassau invaded the Netherlands from Germany and France, respectively. However, Alba defeated the land invasions and recaptured part of Holland, where his troops committed terrible atrocities. However, he was unable to defeat the Gueux, and he failed to recapture the remainder of Holland and Zeeland. The attribution of the publication to Vocxken Diercx, widow of H Cock, is taken from Drugulin. Ref: Drugulin 421b |

The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. ![]() |
