Print commiserating the beginning of the First World War. It shows the Vredespaleis (Peace Palace) in The Hague (architect Prof. J.A.G. van der Steur), above a portrait of Andrew Carnegie (who donated money for the building). To the left a portrait of Queen Wilhelmina, to the right a portrait of William the Silent. In the top putti with Red Cross armbands sit around bandage chests, to the left and right of a portrait of an unidentified military man.
Chromolithograph on wove paper, sheet size 390 x 470 mm. Designed and drawn by D.L. Kohlman, and printed by Geuze (Dordrecht). With a four-line poem in the lower left.
In very good condition. Some scattered foxing (mostly in the margins, a few spots in the sky of the image area). A strip of cloth is pasted to the top margin verso, for previous attachment to carrier. An ink stamp indicates this print was once part of the print collection of the municipality of Vlaardingen (not in Lugt).
