About this work

Satirical print on the dismissal of the waardgelders. In the image, a jester and two other figures (the waardgelders) are seen being waved off in a cart pulled by a donkey. Below the image are two songs of three columns. The first song is the 'Triumph-Wagen vande Waert-ghelders, waermede sy te Lande uyt varen ende ons verlaten', next to it stands the 'Vermaen-Liedeken, omtsamen wederom in Eendracht, Liefde ende Vrede met malkanderen te leven'.
