This is a broadside, a single sheet of printed material, from the *Oprechte Dingsdagse Haerlemse Courant*, a Dutch newspaper published in Haarlem between 1740 and 1811. This specific broadside, dated 2 January 1770, reports on the flooding of the Rhine dike in Gelderland, Netherlands, and is attributed to the Dutch printer Johannes (I) Enschedé, who was born in 1708 and died in 1780. The publication was likely intended to reach a local, Dutch audience interested in current events and news. The broadside is now in the collection of the Rijksmuseum, a national museum dedicated to the history and art of the Netherlands.
