Loterijbrief 1809 - 1811

“Loterijbrief” is a lottery ticket from 1809-1811, created by the Dutch artist D.C. de Groot Jamin. The ticket is a simple document with a handwritten signature and a numbered ticket. This piece of art would have been very important to the owner, as it was a piece of paper representing a chance to win a lot of money. The artwork is considered a form of ephemera, or a document that provides historical information about a particular time and place. It is a reminder of a popular form of entertainment in the early 19th century.
