'BEGRAEFENIS VAN DEN HOND VAN SCHOUT BOND, NAAR EEN ECHT SCHILDERIJTJE GETEKENT''This print shows the funeral of Tyter the dog of Willem de Bont. Mr. Willem de Bont, bailiff (schout) in Leiden 'was a controversial figure as a merciless prosecutor of the Remonstrants (a group of moderate-minded Protestants). When his dog Tyter died, he buried him with impressive pomp on the 20th [actually 29th] January 1634. [.] Tyter's corpse was borne along to the tolling of bells. The bier was followed by a maidservant in mourning who carried young dogs, descendants of Tyter, on her arm. The pups wore crêpe bands. More dogs, also in weepers, followed. A cat that was also invited refused to join the procession. After the funeral the children were given a generous treat. This eccentric event inspired Joost van den Vondel who sympathized with the Remonstrants to write his satire 'Aen alle Honde-slagers en Hondenbeuls' ('To all the dog-butchers and dog executioners'): Bailiff Bont, sitting on the kennel, / Let all the dog fanciers know / That Tyter will be buried; / That he will serve cake and wine / And with his curs and his scoundrels / Will water the grave of the dog's soul.' (Johan Koppenol: 'Noah's Ark Disembarked In Holland: Animals In Dutch Poetry, 1500 1700' in 'Early Modern Zoology: The Construction of Animals in Science, Literature and the Visual Arts', 2007 p. 483).
