"Vrijmoedige Bedenkingen, bij het sloopen van de Haarlemmer Poort, In Maart 1837" (1837) by T. Wiering is a broadside, or printed sheet, that commemorates the demolition of the Haarlemmerpoort, a gate in the city of Haarlem, the Netherlands. The text, written in Dutch, is a satirical poem that reflects on the historical and social significance of the gate, as well as the changes occurring in the city during the 19th century. Two figures, likely representing citizens of Haarlem, are depicted at the top of the broadside, reflecting on the changes happening around them. The artwork is a significant artifact of Dutch cultural history, providing insights into the changing landscape of Haarlem during a time of significant urban development.
