Plattegrond van de tribunes en afgezette ruimte rondom het standbeeld van Coster, 1856 1856

This technical drawing by C.D. Emrik, created in 1856, details the layout of the space surrounding the Coster statue. The plan clearly outlines the placement of various elements, including the "tribunen" (stands) for guests (A), the designated area for invited guests (B), the space for the typographical society (C), the area for the musicians (D), and the location of the "schutlery" (guardhouse) and the Grenadiers and Jagers (E and F). The graphic nature of the drawing, with its labeled sections and scale bar, emphasizes the practical function of the artwork, providing a clear and precise visual representation of the physical arrangement of the space. The artwork serves as a valuable historical document, offering insights into the organization and architecture of the surrounding area in the mid-19th century.
