About This Item
A very rare (Muller) print presenting an episode in the life of Willem de Goede (William the Good), Count of Holland, in 1336, passing a just judgement in favour of a poor farmer against the rich bailiff of Holland, resulting in the bailiffs execution. Although no other state of the present plate is known, Atlas van Stolk points out that its plan and layout (and lettering, we would add) so closely matches an earlier print showing the death of Floris V, Count of Holland, in 1296 (De doot van Floris de V. Grave van Holl[and]), that one may suppose they were originally produced and published together, so engraved by Experiens Sillemans and published by Cornelis Danckerts before the death of the former in 1652. The present impression, without the name of the engraver but with the imprint indicating it was printed in Amsterdam by Hugo Allard [the elder (ca. 1624/25-1684)] in Kalverstraat, therefore shows the plate in what is probably its second state.With the print trimmed to the plate-mark, edges a bit frayed, some repairs.l Atlas van Stolk 142 (cf. 117, the death of Floris V); Muller, Historieplaten 211 (I, p. 18, and IV, p. 20).
