Description:
Example of a copper engraved plate depicting news subjects from 1559 to 1601 by Hans Hogenberg and others, covering the European Wars of Religion and the struggle of the Netherlands for independence from Spain. Showing scenes of battles, sieges, executions, assassinations, parades, court scenes, etc., they were produced shortly after an historic event occurred and were primarily of events that were of interest to the European populations. These engravings represent one of the earliest illustrated forms of news that was widely disseminated. The format is a large engraving that also contains, at the bottom, a descriptive text in German (and sometimes French as well). They are "Views as news" and represent the earliest form of pictorial journalism, the precursor of the illustrated newspaper.
