One of the 39 luxury copies on heavy paper. "On 22 March 1777 the City of Goes on the Island of Beveland celebrated its formal transition -satisfactie- to the side of the States 200 years earlier (22 March 1577), thereby following in the footsteps of Vlissingen in 1772 and Middelburg in 1774. A banquet was organized for 39 leading citizens of the city. They each were given a copy of a book having to do with this 'satisfactie', executed in marbled calf with a frame on the covers composed of a baroque roll of foliage and a newly cut baroque block of the Goes coat of arms in the middle". (DDB). All those copies were printed on heavy paper, with a coloured title page and uniformly bound by the Middelburg bookbinder Jan Dane. The coat of arms of Goes was cut for this occasion, and later used on the school prize bindings. There was also a printed dedication added at the beginning, which is unfortunately cut out in our copy.
