The Bookshop and Lottery Agency of Jan de Groot in the Kalverstraat in Amsterdam — History & Facts
A group of men fight to enter the lottery agency. It is the start of the sale of the Generaliteitsloterij (Generality Lottery), forerunner of the still existing Staatslotterij (State Lottery). Hotel guests at either side look on amused, including a Black man (left).
His presence was not unusual. More Black people lived in Amsterdam in the late 18th century than in the previous century.
