This 18th-century broadside, "Oprechte Saturdagse Haerlemse Courant van 6 januari 1770," was printed by Johannes (I) Enschedé and features news of the flooding of the Rhine dike in Gelderland. The Dutch text, typical of the period, is visually dense with small, closely spaced fonts and minimal ornamentation. This piece, housed at the Rijksmuseum, offers insight into 18th-century news dissemination and provides a valuable record of historical events in the Netherlands.
