This beautiful view of the Dam square represents the lepers' parade on ""Koppersmaandag"". This procession took place on the first Monday after Epiphany January 6. On that day lepers were allowed to leave their home and they were granted a festive city tour. Because of the great number of people attending the parade was dismissed in 1604. Thus Nieulandt represented the last procession. It arrives from the Damrak behind the Waag onto Dam Square. The residents of the home - a woman a man and a child - sit in horse-drawn sleighs and draw attention to themselves by flapping their Lazarus flap. In this way lepers were announcing their presence so that people in health could avoid getting closer and ultimately not getting sick. In the barrels on the sleighs was collected alms.Title below in Dutch and French: 'Jaarlyksche Ommegang der Gildens en Leproozen op Koppermaandag te Amsterdam; opgehouden Ao. 1604 / Procession annuelle des Confrairies & des Lépreux d'Amsterdam hors d'usage dés l'Année 1604'.
