Bericht van de uitgever over de uitgave van de eerste twee platen van de serie Toneeldecors van de nieuwe Amsterdamse Schouwburg, 1787 1787

This is a 1787 publication announcement by the Dutch print seller Jan Willem Smit. It details the plans for publishing engravings of the set designs for the new Amsterdam theater, the Nieuwe Schouwburg. The publication had already released six engravings by the renowned engraver, R. Vinkeles, but due to his inability to continue the work, Smit has contracted other artists to complete the series in a smaller format. The publication includes engravings of the set designs for both the Gothic Palace and the Modern Room, and will offer additional sets from the previous theater. This document is an important resource for understanding the history of Dutch theater design.
