Peter G. Rose in her books Matters of Taste and The Sensible Cook
includes information on sweet Dutch pretzels. She includes a recipe for
Krakelingen in the book of recipes that accompanies Matters of Taste.
Rose notes that the first printed pastry and baking cookbook in the 
Netherlands
appeared in the mid-18th century.
Art--
http://www.albanyinstitute.org/resources/archive/dutch/dutch.htm shows the
famous Job Berckheyde painting titled The Baker which features pretzels.
http://www.worcesterart.org/Exhibitions/Past/favorite_baker.html also 
features it.
