Transcription notes

Dimension field '134 mm x 103 mm' unlabelled; recorded as plate. Lugt 240 is the Rijksprentenkabinet mark. Cross-check: This is the impression the brief flagged for verification. It IS B.20 / NH 170. Cross-checked on the English and Dutch pages, which returned character-identical catalogue reference strings. Raw HTML is JS-rendered, so no image or IIIF URL could be captured and none is asserted. API route: None. The legacy REST API (https://www.rijksmuseum.nl/api/en/collection/RP-P-OB-285) returns HTTP 410 Gone. Retrieved from the public object page in both English and Dutch.

How to read this record

Every field above is transcribed from the holding institution’s own published record, in the institution’s own words. Nothing has been normalised, converted or reconciled — where a record is internally inconsistent, or disagrees with another institution, the inconsistency is preserved, because it is data about the state of cataloguing for this plate rather than noise to be tidied away.

If this record is wrong — and if you work at this institution you will know before we do — please tell us. Corrections are logged with their reason and credited.
