Aelbrecht Hendricksz’s *Plackaet inhoudende scherp verbodt van opte steden, havenen, ende plaetsen, wesende onder t' gebiedt vanden Coninck van Spaingien (...) enz. enz.* is a printed broadside from 1591. The broadside contains a decree from the States General of the Netherlands, forbidding the inhabitants of the United Provinces from trading with Spain, Portugal, and other territories under Spanish rule. This decree is part of the Eighty Years’ War, a conflict between the Netherlands and Spain that began in 1568. The broadside is a valuable historical document, providing insight into the political and economic situation of the Netherlands during this turbulent period. The ornate typography and the official stamp of the States General reflect the importance of this decree.
