Koperen mijnlamp die Willem Drees als premier heeft ontvangen tijdens een bezoek aan de staatsmijnen in 1955 before 1955

This copper miner's lamp, made by an unknown artist before 1955, is an important historical artifact housed in the Rijksmuseum. It was presented to Willem Drees, the Dutch Prime Minister, during his visit to the state mines in 1955, as a commemorative gift. The inscription on the lamp reads "Ter herinnering aan het bezoek 8 maart 1955" which translates to "In memory of the visit March 8, 1955". The lamp is a tangible reminder of the important role mining played in the Dutch economy and the work of the miners, a testament to Dutch history and industry.
