Programma van het 400-jarig jubileum van de uitvinding van de boekdrukkunst door Coster, 1823 1823

This 1823 broadside, housed in the Rijksmuseum, commemorates the 400th anniversary of the invention of the printing press. The anonymous creator chose to honor the Dutch printer Laurens Coster, a figure historically credited with the invention, though this attribution is now disputed. The text is in Dutch, likely including poems and historical accounts of Coster's life and work. The design of the broadside includes a coat of arms and decorative borders, reflecting the style of early printed materials. The broadside is a testament to the enduring impact of the printing press on European society, while also showcasing the evolution of printed media itself.
