"Tekstblad uit Henrich Ruse, Versterckte Vesting, 1654" is a 1654 print by Dutch artist Hendrick baron van Ruse van Rysensteen. The page is a printed list of notable figures from the city of Amsterdam including "D. Frans Banning Kock," "Cornelis Bicker," "Joan Hvydekoooper," and "D. Nicolaes TvLp." The page was likely distributed as a political announcement. While the names themselves are not particularly well-known today, the artwork provides an interesting insight into the Dutch political scene of the 17th century. The artwork's simple text-based composition is typical of printed documents of the time period.
