contents: The abolition of the so-called 'newspaper stamp duty', an extra tax on every newspaper published, allowed the number of new newspapers to increase rapidly. One of these was "Het Nieuws van den Dag", established in 1870 in Amsterdam by Maurits van der Lee, a Dutchman living in Brussels and known there for his success with papers such as "Etoile belge", and the Parisian "Petit Journal". Something similar to this, a small, cheap, general newspaper of Protestant liberal signature, was what Van der Lee had in mind. The paper was successful with an ever-growing circulation and the publication of supplements. This illusatration shows the printing house of Roeloffzen and Hübner in Amsterdam where the paper was printed.
