This engraving by Izaak Jansz. de Wit, created in 1782, is the title page for the second volume of "De Post van den Neder-Rhijn." The piece depicts a classical scene with three figures: a woman holding a staff and a hat, another seated woman writing, and a small figure in the foreground, perhaps a cherub. The artwork is held by the Rijksmuseum and illustrates a time when visual representations were central to communication. This engraving would have been a key element in conveying the content of this publication, which dealt with news and information from the Netherlands.
