Tekst over Klooster ten Hage, gebruikt ter inlegering tijdens het beleg van Den Bosch, 1629 1837 - 1846

This sheet was printed by C.A. Vieweg in 1629, during the siege of Den Bosch, and is made of paper, an inexpensive yet crucial material for mass communication. The artwork, which speaks of Klooster ten Hage, utilizes the printing press, a technology that had a profound impact on society, allowing for the rapid dissemination of information and ideas. The printed text on this sheet would have been typeset, and it would have taken some labor to produce this. The choice of paper as a medium is particularly significant here, as it enabled the relatively inexpensive production of numerous copies, making the text accessible to a wider audience. This accessibility was crucial during the siege of Den Bosch, when morale and information were vital. The labor that went into the creation and distribution of this printed sheet, while perhaps not immediately apparent, underscores its social significance. It reminds us that every object, even seemingly simple ones, is the result of human effort and skill.
