Farmers affected by Beefpest, 1866-1867; God's skirming hand over the Netherlands through the pestity disease under the cattle. De Beefpest in the Netherlands in the years 1866-1867. Reuse of an old representation from 1745 from farmers who are affected by the bovine plague and complain from a landlord that has arrived at the farm with his wife in the carriage. Left clearing the stables and buried from the deceased animals, centrally more sick and died animals. In the background by the sun, meadows with sick and healthy animals, mills and farms. On the magazine a description of the events from 1744-1745 and 1866-1867 in two columns. In the text, the livestock disease is interpreted as punishment by God, a sign of God's wrath, due to sin and thanklessness in the Netherlands.
