Uitnodiging aan Ludolf Backhuysen (II) before 1733

This invitation to the funeral of Johannes Bakhuijzen, created before 1733 by the printers erven Jacob Lescailje en Dirk Rank, announces the date, time, and location of the service. It is written in Dutch and invites the viewer to the Westerkerk in Amsterdam. The handwritten signature at the bottom is believed to be that of Ludolf Bakhuijzen, possibly a relative of the deceased. This artwork is a unique historical document that offers insight into funeral practices in 18th-century Amsterdam.
