Another milestone in the history of Dutch journalism! Today it is exactly 350 year ago when Abraham Casteleyn started a newspaper called Haarlems Dagblad. The Haarlems Dagblad is the worlds oldest still existing newspaper.
Since i find local news always a bit boring, i never been an avid reader of the HD. None the less, celebrating your 350th birthday is quite an achievement. Congratulations!
For those who are wondering what this painting is all about: it is a portait of Casteleyn and his wife Margarieta van Bancken, by Jan de Bray. you can go to the site of the Rijksmuseum for more information.
