Doctoral Thesis

The central question of this thesis is: who made and published the four prints of Leiden University´s teaching institutions and what motivated the authors? Was there a commission with a clear concept for a series of three or four prints? Reasons for the prints’ existence can be explained from historical, contextual, and civic perspectives. Political changes in the Dutch Republic were an important impulse for their publication.The four prints were part of a flood of images of Leiden originated through collective cooperation and a network of local artisans and book publishers, who were largely dependent on the presence of the University for their income.
