This is a page from "Inhoudsopgave van: Verzaameling van zes-en zestig aangenaame gezichten in de vermakelyke landsdouwen van Haarlem," or Contents of: Collection of sixty-six pleasant views in the pleasant countrysides of Haarlem, published in 1763 by Jan Bosch. This book is made from paper, printed using a mechanical printing press, and bound. The labor involved in its production would have been divided across multiple skilled workers, from the paper makers, the typesetters and press operators, to the binders who assembled the book. Each stage reflects the increasing industrialization of the 18th century. The crisp, uniform text is a testament to the precision of the printing process, and the book's binding, though simple, speaks to the book's value as a commodity. The table of contents suggests a systematized knowledge of the landscape. This copy, now held in the Rijksmuseum, testifies to the transformation of knowledge into a product, underscoring the intersection of art, industry, and commerce in the 18th century.
