EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph, titled "Historical Parade at the Second Centenary of Utrecht University, 1836 (plate 6)" by Victor Adam, captures the essence of a grand celebration that took place on 16 June 1836, marking the bicentenary of the founding of Utrecht University of Applied Sciences. The image is a re-enactment of the entry to Ostend of the State Army on 3 July 1600, the day following the victory of the Battle of Nieuwpoort during the Dutch War of Independence against Spain. The collage-like composition of this photograph showcases an array of beautifully dressed men, donning 17th-century apparel, as they proudly march in a colorful procession. The horses and horse-drawn carriages add to the authenticity of the scene, transporting the viewer back in time. The groups, numbered 20-23, are seen wearing various costumes, representing different aspects of the Dutch culture and heritage. The photograph is part of a series of ten unnumbered plates by Victor Adam, and this particular image is the sixth plate. The meticulous attention to detail, from the intricate designs on the clothing to the realistic portrayal of the animals, is a testament to Adam's skill as a photographer and his dedication to preserving historical accuracy. The parade took place at the Utrecht University, which was founded in 1636, making the celebration a significant milestone in the institution's history. The event attracted a large crowd, making it a cultural spectacle that was celebrated not just within the academic community but also throughout the country. This photograph is a valuable historical artifact, providing a glimpse into the past and offering insights into the fashion, military, and cultural practices of the 17th and 19th centuries in the Low Countries. The image is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Dutch War of Independence and the rich cultural heritage of the Netherlands.
