Exceedingly rare Napoleon occupation newspaper...

Item # 698747
September 27, 1811
COURRIER D'AMSTERDAM or the COURIER VAN AMSTERDAM, December 3, 1810  This was a daily newspaper published in Amsterdam during the French occupation of Holland. It is bilingual: half printed in French and half in Dutch. Two mastheads as well, one in each language.
In 1810 Napoleon Bonaparte annexed Holland to his empire, hence this newspaper being in two languages. A very rare and unusual newspaper that seldom comes on the market.
Complete in four pages, 9 1/2 by 15 1/2 inches, never-trimmed margins, a bit of staining, nice condition.

Item from last month's catalog - #364 - released for March, 2026.
