Chrysler, Jr. 72.46 Admiral Zoutman commanded the Dutch fleet at the Battle of Dogger Bank (August 5, 1781)- the only naval engagement of the Anglo-Dutch War of 1780-84. The battle was a draw, but Zoutman's forces were hailed as heros at home for having held their own against the Britsih navy. Zoutman's portrait was also engraved by David Wolff and the battle itself was commemorated on Chinese export porcelain.Published ReferencesRobert Schmidt CATALOGUE OF MUHSOM COLLECTION, Vol. 1, No. 69, with information translated.
