This is a death notice for Jan George Mulder, an old teacher at the Royal Music School, published in 1911. The notice describes him as a Knight in the Order of Orange-Nassau and an Officer of the Académie, and notes that he passed away at the age of 74. It is a poignant document that captures the memory of a distinguished individual and provides insight into the social and cultural practices of the time. The Rijksmuseum holds this unique artifact, offering a glimpse into the past through a simple yet powerful form of communication.
