This illustrated print from 1850-1881, created by Dutch artist Dirk Wijbrand Tollenaar, provides an educational look at the province of Groningen. The print includes four scenes depicting the region's landscape, architecture, and history. A hand-drawn map of the province, labeled with the number of its inhabitants, is included, as well as a depiction of the city of Groningen's main square, called the "Bredmarkt." The bottom two scenes depict the cities of Appingedam and "Het Gedenkenissen van Graaf Adolff." The latter depicts the memorial dedicated to Adolff, the first count of Groningen. These scenes showcase the variety of landscapes and history of this Dutch province.
