"Einde van den Slag" [end of the battle]. Etching with engraving from a series of prints of the Battle of Dogger Bank during the Fourth Anglo-Dutch War, made in 1781 by Matthias de Sallieth after a drawing by Frederik Reitz, published by Johannes Smit and Son in Amsterdam. Size: 31 x 46,5 cm. In 1776, the American colonies declared independence from Great Britain. The Dutch Republic recognized them, which in 1780 led to a British declaration of war and a blockade of the Dutch coast. At that time, both the British and the Dutch traded with the Baltic Sea region, and with the outbreak of war, the grain fleets were protected by warships. The battle took place on August 5, 1781, near the Dogger Bank (a sandbank in the North Sea). An English fleet under Vice-Admiral Hyde Parker attacked the Dutch navy, which was escorting a convoy of merchant ships to the Baltic. The Dutch, under Rear Admiral Johan Zoutman, repelled the attack, but both sides suffered heavy damage, and the Dutch grain trade with the Baltic region came to an end. In the Netherlands, which had not fought a naval battle for a long time, the battle was celebrated as a grand victory. Many Dutch people wore a special ribbon in remembrance of the battle. To financially support the widows of the fallen sailors, funds were established. From a merger of two of these funds, the Maritime School of Navigation (Kweekschool voor de Zeevaart) was financed in 1785.

Gezicht van het Y en Pampus Kopergravure vervaardigd 1785/1791 door Matthias de Sallieth naar een tekening van Carel Frederik Bendorp ( 1736 - 1814) die op zijn beurt een schilderij van Abraham Storck kopieerde. Afm. (plaatrand): 32,9 × 40,6 cm. Fraai gezicht gezicht over het IJ en Pampus, de door slib verondiepte geul gelegen aan de monding van het IJ ten oosten van Amsterdam en ten noorden van Muiden. (Dus niet te verwarren met het 19de-eeuwse forteiland Pampus.) Ten tijde van de VOC konden de schepen, zwaarbeladen door de handelswaar vanuit de Oost, als ze bijna thuis waren de ondiepe vaargeul niet makkelijk passeren. Vaak moest men op de vloed wachten om de haven van Amsterdam te kunnen bereiken. Na het afmeren kregen matrozen hun gage en verspilden het veelal in de dagen daarna aan drank en vrouwen. Dan gingen ze naar huis, net zo berooid als ze voor de reis waren. Matrozen kwamen veelal uit de provincie. Wanneer er weer ronselaars van de VOC in de dorpen kwamen, dan zeiden de moeders van de aanstaande matrozen: "Niet doen, dat levert niets op." Die ontmoediging was slecht voor de handel, want als er geen matrozen waren, dan konden de schepen niet bemand worden. De Heren van de VOC bedachten daarop een truc. Als de schepen voor de rede van Pampus lagen kregen ze water, eten en zeep. Vervolgens werd er een bordeel afgehuurd. De dames van het bordeel werden samen met een forse hoeveelheid drank aan boord gebracht. Na drie dagen waren de schepelingen totaal uitgeraasd en uitgeput. Daarna ging het schip naar de haven, meerde af, de matrozen kregen hun gage en gingen naar huis. Nu gingen ze met geld naar huis en met stoere verhalen. Hierdoor was het eenvoudiger om matrozen te werven. De term "voor pampus liggen" in de zin van dronken zijn, komt van het hier beschreven gebruik. Prijs: Euro 475,-.

"THE BATTLE OF NIEUWPOORT "De Glorierijke Overwinning behaald bij Nieuwpoort in Vlaanderen door de Troepen der Verenigde Nederlanden, onder het Opperbevel van Maurits, Prins van Oranje op de Spaansche Legerbenden onder het Bevel van de Albertus van Oostenrijk, benevens de gevangenneming van Franciscus de Mendoza, op den 20sten July des Jaars 1600" [The Glorious Victory achieved at Nieuwpoort in Flanders by the Troops of the United Netherlands, under the Supreme Command of Maurits, Prince of Orange, over the Spanish Forces under the Command of Archduke Albert of Austria, together with the capture of Francisco de Mendoza, on the 20th of July in the Year 1600.]Etching with aquatint made in 1782 by Matthias de Sallieth after a drawing by Dirk Langendijk. With original hand colouring. Size: 42 x 58 cm. Maurice of Orange had been sent to Flanders on behalf of the Netherlands to capture the city of Dunkirk. The privateering that operated out of Dunkirk was causing great damage to the shipping and fisheries of the Republic. Completely unexpectedly, the Spanish army advanced toward Flanders under the command of Archduke Albert of Austria. The two armies met at Nieuwpoort, where a pitched battle ensued. For the battle, Maurits had at his disposal 9,400 infantry and 2,500 cavalry. Albert commanded approximately 7,000 foot soldiers and 1,200 cavalry. The States army had only six cannons, while the Spanish army had eight. The battle was won by the Dutch, but 1,000 men were killed and 700 seriously wounded. The Spanish lost 3,000 men. Albert had been forced to leave the battlefield with a head wound, and the Spanish general Francesco de Mendoza was taken prisoner. The original objective of the campaign was Dunkirk, but due to poor weather conditions, a shortage of food, and fear of a new Spanish relief army, it was decided to leave the privateers undisturbed. The campaign in Flanders was therefore regarded in the Republic as a failure, despite this victory in the field. Nevertheless, Maurits's prestige as a military commander had grown and this is beautifully captured in the print. In the foreground on the left we see Prince Maurits on horseback, surrounded by soldiers and officers, while the captured general De Mendoza is being led toward the prince. In the background, the fierce battle rages on. Literature: Muller, Nederderlandse Historieplaten, no. 1147a Price: Euro 1.250,-".
