Amsterdam, G.Th. Bom (…), [1848], 8pp. original paper binding, the original Kaat Mossel was Catharina Mulder (25 March 1723, in Rotterdam – 29 June 1798, in Rotterdam), also known as Kaat Mossel, who was a Dutch orangist. She was a fishmonger, selling mussels in Rotterdam, hence her nickname: Kaat Mossel = Cate Mussel. She led and organised the orangist riots in Rotterdam in 1784 against the patriots. She is regarded as a representative of the common orangism. This address is directed to Alphonse Marie Louis de Prat de Lamartine, Knight of Pratz (21 October 1790 – 28 February 1869), who was a French author, poet, and statesman who was instrumental in the foundation of the Second Republic and the continuation of the Tricolore as the flag of France.
