This is a printed text document, or broadside, by Claes Jansz. Visscher from 1620, now in the Rijksmuseum. It lists the members of the States of Friesland, the governing body of the province at that time. The list is divided by regional districts, or "radeel" (district): Leeuwarderadeel, Collumerland, Ferwerderadeel, Acht Carpelen, Dongeradeel, and Tietjerksteradeel. It was likely created for the funeral of Willem Lodewijk, Count of Nassau, who died in 1620. This document provides valuable insight into the political structure of the region during the early 17th century.
