About this work
In a field before the city of Haarlem stands Laurens Jansz. Coster, one of the inventors of printing. He wears a cap and a fur collar, and holds a plate with his titles in one hand and a printing letter in the other. In the background, the outlines of Haarlem, with the St. Bavo Church.
