Dat gy van de magere kunt worden gegeeten".

(1674, 1684 or 1690), plano, laid paper with watermark coat of arms of Amsterdam (sheet size 41 x 30.5 cm).

Sl. creased and w. tiny tears (for instance on central horizontal fold); traces of former mount verso. F.M. 2668; Knuttel 13512; Landwehr p. 212. The precise date is disputed. Allegorical print on the dispute between Amsterdam and William III, presented as a fable. A cowherd (William) desparately tries to keep the seventh (and fattest) cow (Amsterdam) together with the others, to protect it against a nearing wolf (France). The presence of a fox complicates matters further.
