Franse troepen trekken over de Lek, 15 januari 1795. Aan de lek in de buurt van Utrecht, 1945-1950 - Uit de handleiding uit 1962: ‘De afbeelding laat de Franse troepen zien die over de met een dikke ijskorst bedekte rivier de Lek trekken in januari 1795. Dit is één van de gebeurtenissen die ertoe leidde dat de Republiek der Verenigde Nederlanden ten val werd gebracht. Op de plaat vindt men generaals, parlementsleden en soldaten. De hoofdgroep op de plaat wordt gevormd door de generaals Pichegru en Salme. Pichegru is de figuur in de grijze overjas en met een kaart in de hand. Achter dit tweetal en aan de rechterzijde van hen staan de Franse volksvertegenwoordigers ook wel “Représentant du peuple en mission aux armées”en “commissaire de la convention aux armées” genoemd. Achter de twee laatsten is een aide-de-camp van generaal Salme zichtbaar. Daar werden de zieken en gewonden geholpen. Het huis op de achtergrond is het Veerhuis van Culemborg waar het tafereel zich afspeelt. Aan de rechterkant van de afbeelding ziet u het leger samen met boeren en landlieden, zij moesten het ijs met stro bedekken zodat het makkelijker te passeren zou zijn.’ Opmerking: De schoolplaat is eerst uitgegeven onder de titel: De Fransen onder Pichegru trekken de bevroren rivier over, 1795. In 1950 is de titel aangepast.

On 11th of December 1792 he was put on the trial before the National Convention. He was sentenced to death because of high treason and crime against the state (la conspiration contre la liberté publique et la sûreté générale de l'État). On the morning of the 21st January 1793 he was guillotined as citizen Louis Capet (referring to Hugo Capet, first ancient of the French ruling dynasty) by hangman Charles-Henri Sanson. Surrounded by the soldiers of the Revolution the depiction of the guillotine in the vanishing point of Louis is oversized. In the foreground of the picture you can only see few citizens, watching the execution. On the left side on of them is waving the tricolor, which first came up during the Revolution and later should become the national flag of France.

De aanhouding van Prinses Wilhelmina aan de Goejanverwellesluis, 1787. Oudewater, 1911 - Uit Nederlandsche schoolplaten van J.B. Wolters’uitgevers-maatschappij uit 1927: ‘In den vroege morgen van den 28en juni 1787 vertrok Prinses Wilhelmina met een klein gevolg uit Nijmegen naar Den Haag met het doel daar een tegenomwenteling te bewerken ten gunste van haar gemaal Prins Willem V. Door alle gemis aan voorzorgen om haar incognito te bewaren was de Commissie van Defensie te Woerden reeds vóór het vertrek van de Prinses verwittigd van haar komst. Een uur voorbij Schoonhoven werd de Prinses aangehouden en in afwachting van de beslissing der Defensie-Commissie werd H.K.H. met haar gevolg gevoerd naar de Goejanverwellesluis, waar de Prinses met haar gevolg genoodzaakt werd uit te stappen en in een boerenhofstede onder bewaking werd gesteld. De Goudsche vrijkorporisten en eenige ruiters van Hessen Philipthal houden dreigend de wacht.’ In 1787 waren de spanningen tussen patriotten en prinsgezinden zo hoog opgelopen dat de Republiek der Verenigde Nederlanden op de rand van een burgeroorlog stond. Stadhouder Willem V was in Nijmegen maar ondernam niets. Zijn daadkrachtige vrouw Wilhelmina van Pruisen nam echter het heft in handen en vertrok in het geheim naar Den Haag om orde op zaken te stellen. De patriotten ontdekten dit en hielden de prinses aan in de buurt van Goejanverwellesluis, nabij Gouda. Dit incident vormde de directe aanleiding voor de inval van de Pruisen in de Republiek. Frederik Willem II van Pruisen schoot zijn zuster Wilhelmina te hulp en eiste genoegdoening (satisfactie) van het gewest Holland. Nadat een groot leger van 20.000, of 26.000, een enkele auteur beweert zelfs 30.000 goedgetrainde Pruisische soldaten onder leiding van de hertog van Brunswijk de rust herstelde in de rebellerende steden, keerde het stadhouderlijk paar naar 's-Gravenhage terug.
