This is a broadsheet announcing the death of King William III of the Netherlands. Printed in 1890, the artwork is likely an extra edition of *Het Dagblad*, a newspaper from the provinces of South Holland and The Hague, Netherlands. It is an example of historical news reporting with a focus on the death of a prominent public figure. The artwork's visual style utilizes a black and white print, with a large headline and columns of text, typical of 19th-century broadsheets. This piece is a notable cultural artifact of the mourning period following the death of the King.
