This anonymous 1840 hand-written poster, titled “Gefingeerd toneelaffiche voor een treurspel over het voorgenomen huwelijk van de voormalige koning Willem I, 1840”, is a poignant commentary on the proposed marriage of former King William I of the Netherlands. The poster is part of the collection at the Rijksmuseum.
