The listed products vary from groceries like butter, fish, cheese and wine, to practical household items like suitcases, writing paper and pots and pans.

Amsterdam, Jan Rieuwertsz, 1700. Single folded sheet (50×37.5 cm) pasted on a strip in a plain paper folder, printed on one side with a contemporary handwritten note on the back: ‘Bestellen tot Haarlem en Amst.’ which translates as: ‘deliver to Haarlem and Amsterdam’. The fold lines have been repaired in a few places by backing the worn spots with small pieces of paper. With the Amsterdam city crest at the top of the page and a beautiful decorated initial.
