Het loze bedrog van Engeland, 1652, Crispijn van de Passe (II) (attributed to), 1652 Canvas Print
Cartoon on England in the First Anglo-Dutch War, 1652. The Dutch Lion (E) lies in a cradle lulled to sleep by the flute playing of the Spanish fox (P), a group of standing men. There you can see, among other things, that Prince Rupert of the Palatinate (B) steals the stock exchange from a merchant (I); a reference to the hijacking that took place during this war. On the left, Cromwell, a monkey with a crown of peacock feathers, sits on the throne (F). The three masks behind him stand for deception (A). He feeds a cat (Jacob Cats), dog (Paulus van de Perre), peacock (Adriaen Pauw) and a sheep (Gerrit Schaep) (G) - the diplomatic mission sent to Westminster to negotiate with the English government. In the background, a Spanish fox scatters pieces of money about a group of men engaged in a degen fight (H) and a predictive performance in which the Dutch Lion takes revenge on the monkey (N and O) with the cat, dog, peacock and sheep. The print is accompanied by a text sheet (with the title) that is missing from this copy. There is a copy of this text sheet with the print.
