About this work

Fire in the salt kiln at Arnemuiden, 7 July 1802. Image of the beginning of the fire, at 11 o'clock in the evening. On the right fleeing and lamenting citizens and on the left a burning salt kiln. The wood of the kiln flies through the air and enormous flames shoot out of the windows of the kiln. In the background the contours of sawmills.
