History and profile
Algemeen Handelsblad was founded in 1828[1] by J.W. van den Biesen, a stock broker.[2] The paper aimed at providing news about trade, share holding and banking.[2] Later its coverage was expanded to cover political news.[2]
At the peak of its influence—from the time of the Boer War, when it championed the Boer cause in South Africa, through World War I—it was edited by Charles Boissevain. The paper had a liberal stance.[1]
Algemeen Handelsblad merged in 1970 with the Rotterdam-based liberal daily newspaper Nieuwe Rotterdamsche Courant into the NRC Handelsblad.[1][3]
