Memorie aan de Schepenen van Amsterdam 1896

"Memorie aan de Ed. Achtb. Heeren Schepenen der Stad Amsterdam" is a document written by Matthias Wulfraet in 1896. The document is a plea to the city council of Amsterdam on behalf of the artist, a painter who was seeking a contract from the city to perform some work for them. Wulfraet discusses the artist's credentials and the quality of his work. The document is a fascinating example of the working relationship between artists and civic leaders during this period in Dutch history.
