Valour is Priz'd tho' Vanquish'd. Alexander admiring the greatness of soul of King Porus, whom he had defeated and made Prisoner, not only pities him but (as an honourable mark os his Esteem) admits him into the number of his Friends, and gives him a Kingdom greater than that which he had Lost. La Vertu Plast Quoy que Vaincue. Alexander n'est pas seulement touché de compassion en voyant la Grandeur d'ame du Roy Porus qu'il a vaincu, et fait son Prisonnier, mais il luy donne des marques honorables de son estime en le recevant au Nombre de ses amis, et en luy donnant en suitte un plus Grand Royaume que celuy qu'il avoit perdu. 4.

Engraving, sheet 490 x 340mm (19¼ x 13¼"). Trimmed inside platemark; fold through centre. Small tear on right edge.
Abraham van der Hulst (1619 - 1666), Dutch admiral. Van der Hulst captained the 'Groningen' ship during the First Anglo-Dutch War (1652-4) and subsequently blockaded Portugal in the later stages of the Dutch-Portuguese war (1601-61). He then returned to action against the English in the Second Anglo-Dutch War (1665-7). He fought in the Battle of Lowestoft, a heavy defeat for the Dutch in which van der Hulst's conduct saw him promoted to admiral. He was second-in-command to Cornelis Tromp in the 'Four Days Battle' (11 June to 14 June) off the Isle of Thanet, which remains one of the longest naval engagements in history. Van der Hulst commanded the ship the 'Spiegel' and was shot in the chest by a bullet and died on June 12th. This print commemorates his participation in the battle, which can be seen taking place in the background. Van der Hulst was buried in the Oude Kerk in Amsterdam, where a marble tomb by Artus de With was erected in his memory.
