Berigt en uitnoodiging / aan mijne / vermogende landgenooten. / inzonderheid aan de besturen en leden van alle maatschappijen [(...)] c. 1850 - 1855

This is a broadside, or printed poster, titled "Berigt en Uitnoodiging / Aan mijne / Vermogende Landgenooten" (Notice and Invitation / To My / Wealthy Countrymen) by Dutch artist Jan Schuitemaker. It was published in the Netherlands between 1850 and 1855. The text, written in Dutch, calls upon "wealthy countrymen," particularly members of civic organizations, to support the artist's endeavors. This kind of appeal was common for artists of the time seeking patronage, reflecting the role of art in society and the importance of funding for creative projects. The piece exemplifies a blend of artistic and social commentary, a hallmark of 19th-century Dutch art.
