This document, possibly from 1824, is a Staatsblad, the official gazette of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, published by an anonymous artist. It features the decree of King Willem I, granting permission for the marriage of Prince Frederik, second son of the King, to Princess Louisa Augusta Wilhelmina Amelia, daughter of King Frederik Wilhelm III of Prussia. This official document exemplifies the historical significance of these publications as sources for understanding events like royal weddings and government pronouncements in the early 19th century.
