Publicatie over het redden van te water geraakten, 1768 1768

This 1768 broadside, "Publicatie over het redden van te water geraakten," was printed by Johannes Enschedé, a prominent Dutch printer. The text is a public notice, announcing a new system for rescuing people who fall into the water. The document displays a formal and decorative style, including a coat of arms at the top and ornamental lettering. This example of early printing was created for a local audience, as it addresses the citizens of Haarlem, Netherlands, and was likely displayed publicly in the city.
