This 1773 print by Isaac Scheltus is a "Publicatie," or announcement, regarding the introduction of a new Dutch Psalter. The artwork is a single sheet with a large ornate text block, featuring the title "Publicatie" prominently displayed at the top of the page. Below, an ornate letter "D" with a lion's head in it sits next to the text of the announcement, which discusses the official adoption of a new version of the Psalter for the Netherlands. The text includes a seal for the United Provinces at the top of the page, and a note at the bottom indicating the artwork was printed in the Hague by Isaac Scheltus. This print is a valuable document for studying the history of the Dutch language, literature, and religion in the 18th century.
