Vaarwel aan de Amsterdamsche Schutterij, ter gelegenheid van haar vertrek, ter verdediging van wet en regt 1830

This 1830 artwork, "Vaarwel aan de Amsterdamsche Schutterij," by J.C. van Hasselt, is the title page of a songbook. It was published by M. Westerman en Zoon, and intended for the benefit of the needy families of the Amsterdam citizen militia. The page is adorned with a simple engraved illustration of a helmet and crossed spears, and is a prime example of Dutch typography and design from the early 19th century. The artwork exemplifies the social and cultural importance of citizen militia in the Netherlands during this era.
