Beschrijving

Beautiful work with 66 lithographed plates with coats of arms of the members of the Heusden (Noord-Brabant) militia, view of the ‘Doelen’, 2 maps, but also of the flags and other utensils. This ‘voetbooggilde’ was abolished in 1905. Thanks to the Leiden students the paintings and other objects of the militia were placed in the town hall, where it was destroyed in World War II. With an article from Gansen Trou (1968) by H. Poll about the 500 years celebration in 1856.
