"Gericht van de Geeste verschijning op de Oude Schans" is a detailed lithograph created by Hartog Abrahams Swaluw in 1833. Depicting a crowd gathered in Amsterdam on October 8th and 9th, 1833, the artwork captures the anticipation and curiosity surrounding the alleged "apparition" on the Old Bastion. Swaluw's meticulous detail, using a stark black and white palette, immerses viewers in the historical event, offering a glimpse into 19th-century Dutch societal dynamics and belief in the supernatural. The lithograph is a testament to Swaluw's artistic skill and the fascination with the paranormal during this period.
