The captions are in Dutch and French. Romeyn de Hooge was an important and prolific Dutch etcher, designer, engraver and draughtsman. In addition, Hooge was a mapmaker and a cutting caricaturist. He is perhaps best known for his political caricatures of Louis XIV and propagandistic pieces supporting William of Orange. Titled "Departure of William III for England and his Arrival" by cataloguers, this particular engraving belongs in the category of government propaganda.
