A nearly complete run of this rare underground periodical which bracketed the Neiuwmarkt Riots [Nieuwmarktrellen], lacking only the 5th number. The riots protested the forced condemnation and eviction of buildings to construct the Eastern Metro, hence the striking drawing of a death's head train driving out of the cover of the first issue. On 24 March 1975, later known as Blue Monday, extensive riots broke out with police to protest the demolitions. While the demolitions continued, future plans for other metro lines were abandoned.

The pages of Nieuwmarkt Dagblad capture the blow by blow intensity of those days, with striking artwork, cartoons, and photographs of the riots.

Very good with scattered creasing and toning, and the aforementioned clipping laid in.
