Aankondiging van een wedstrijd kruisboogschieten die op 15 juni 1649 buiten Amsterdam plaats zal vinden 1877

This 1877 etching by A. Kroon is a reproduction of an announcement for a crossbow competition to be held outside Amsterdam on June 15, 1649. The work depicts a heraldic scene in the upper portion and a long, detailed text in Dutch, outlining the rules and prizes of the competition. The text is framed by an elaborate, geometric border, while the scene itself is set within a more traditional architectural frame, giving the work a formal and hierarchical feel. This work is a fascinating historical document that provides insight into 17th-century Dutch culture and recreation.
