Description
A political lithograph in which two old soldiers discuss recent military events between Belgium and Holland.
Very roughly translated; one says to the other: "I know from a person currently in the Netherlands that, thanks to the evacuation of the army officers, the trenches are still going their way, the center goes up and down, and despite the rocket's of the Belgians, the Dutch let go of their locks; the sentries placed along the citadel will soon fall prey to invasion: the rest will evacuate and return to their chamber pots."
