Anmerkungen

Curious manuscript possibly documenting final official fullfilment of his role as "raadpensionaris". Johan de Witt actually declared his resignation during the meeting of Staten van Holland on August 4th, 1672. The meeting in our document was held 10 days before the brutal murder of the brothers de Witt. With 6 engravings showing the murder and one late 17th/ early 18th cent. drawing in pencil of Johan de Witt.
