This beautiful view of the Dam square represents the lepers' parade on "Koppersmaandag". This procession took place on the first Monday after Epiphany (January 6). On that day, lepers were allowed to leave their home and they were granted a festive city tour. Because of the great number of people attending, the parade was dismissed in 1604. Thus Nieulandt represented the last procession. It arrives from the Damrak, behind the Waag, onto Dam Square. The residents of the home - a woman, a man and a child - sit in horse-drawn sleighs, and draw attention to themselves by flapping their Lazarus flap. In this way, lepers were announcing their presence so that people in health could avoid getting closer and ultimately not getting sick. In the barrels on the sleighs was collected alms.Title below in Dutch and French: 'Jaarlyksche Ommegang der Gildens en Leproozen, op Koppermaandag te Amsterdam; opgehouden Ao. 1604 / Procession annuelle des Confrairies & des Lépreux d'Amsterdam hors d'usage dés l'Année 1604'.

Size: 20.5 × 23.3 cm. The view is taken from the Weesperzijde, at the corner of the Singelgracht, looking westward toward the Hogesluis. In the background rise the fortifications of the Westerblokhuis with the post mill "De Leeuw" (at 35 metres the tallest windmill in Amsterdam) and the Oosterblokhuis with the mill "De Bul" (right, on the site now occupied by the Amstel Hotel). The print depicts a location that, during the French Period, belonged to the most strategic yet at the same time most lively edges of Amsterdam. It formed a transitional zone between the fortified urban core of the city and the open Amstelland, with its country estates, towpaths, and towboat traffic toward Ouderkerk and Utrecht. The two blockhouses were part of the seventeenth-century expansions of the city, when Amsterdam systematically modernised its defensive works. In the foreground, along the Weesperzijde, a sledge drawn by two harnessed horses moves forward. On the frozen water the scene is bustling: skaters move in all directions, while to the right a koek-en-zopie tent serves as a point for gathering and refreshment. Price: Euro 395,-.
