About this work

Two glued-together parts of a sheet that was probably originally a rectangle, subdivided into ten fields, which were themselves subdivided into ten small fields. In this case an L-shaped part is glued to a small rectangular part, together good for more than four fields, forty-three small fields. Sixteen of those small fields are left empty (in ten of them cut-out pictures from another sheet are pasted), twenty-seven are filled with small representations of a juridical nature. For example, transactions, contracts etc. are depicted. This sheet is part of a series of sheets with always (space for) ten times ten small juridical representations. Possibly concerns illustrations for a book.
