Item description
The sheet appeared in Koninklijke almanach in 1701 edited by Carl Allard. It is a satire linked to episodes of the War of the Spanish Succession which took place on the death of Charles II. The harlequin on the left is dressed as a blacksmith, he lifts a large key with which he opened the gates of the city to the French troops visible in the background. On the right, the Harpagon of Moliere's comedy weighs and counts some Spanish coins, depicting Philip V as well as French, depicting Louis XIV "occult" supporter of the new king Philip of Bourbon, his nephew. In the six lines of verse in French under the subject it is explained how Arlecchino is in reality master of the city and can bring in the troops on the night of Shrove Tuesday. Arpagone, little interested in who the new owner of the city is, but ready to leave him in his shirt. The subject had a certain success, so much so that a similar version is known published in London by Piere Moxse in 1706. And still others reduced in size on different almanacs of the time. The etching and burin mark is well articulated and loose, denoting an expert hand. Fresh and homogeneous impression. Specimen trimmed on the mark of the copper beat. A few tears fixed. On the reverse modern stamp with the inscription: ubecrivis. Unidentifiable ancient watermark.
