Uitnodiging voor de begrafenis van de dichter Jan van Gijsen, 1722 1722

This 1722 announcement by A. Tolk invites the public to the funeral of the Dutch poet Jan van Gysen. Printed in Amsterdam, the broadside provides details for the procession from the deceased's home, the funeral route and the location and time of the burial at the Kathuyzers Kerkhof. The text also celebrates the poet's legacy with the line "He never wrote except in the style of the masters." The simple design of the announcement highlights the key information with only a few stylistic flourishes.
