This 1862 work by J.J.H. Kemmer is a description of the illustrations on a Bible gifted by the Dutch people to King Willem III in 1862. The illustrations depict historical scenes, likely from Dutch history or the Bible. The work is an example of 19th century Dutch printmaking and is a testament to the strong national identity of the Netherlands. This booklet is housed in the Rijksmuseum.
