Beschrijving bij de maskerade van de Leidse studenten, 1870 1870

This 1870 lithograph by J. Hazenberg Corns Zoon, measuring 260 mm by 355 mm, is a program for a historical reenactment celebrating the 250th anniversary of the University of Leiden. The text, printed in black on blue paper, details the event as a "costumed procession" that recreates the 1586 visit of Robert Dudley, Baron of Denbigh, Earl of Leicester, to Leiden. This artwork serves as a historical document capturing a significant moment in the university's history and provides insights into the cultural practices of 19th-century Dutch society.
