Netherlands - Arnhem; Abraham Rademakers/ G.W

Viertal gravures Arnhem: 1. "Gezigt op den Rijn en de Hunneschans, genomen vóór het landhuis Dunoog". The print was issued circa 1844-1860 by the Arnhem publisher G.W. van der Wiel. The print is part of the series “Scenes from the Surroundings of the City of Arnhem.” Engraved by the renowned engraver Henricus Wilhelmus Couwenberg after an original painting by his elder brother, the landscape painter Abraham Johannes Couwenberg. Subject: Although historical archives sometimes mistakenly link the print to the village of Uddel (due to confusion with the Hunneschans near Uddelermeer), this image actually shows the wide panorama of the Rhine from the ridge at Landgoed Duno (Heveadorp/Doorwerth). In the distant background the silhouette of the Eusebius Church in Arnhem can be discerned. It is a moody nightscape under a clear moon, complete with an elegant couple strolling in the foreground 17 x 24 cm verso white 2. "De groote Markt, het Princen Hof, Stad huis en Hoofd Kerk te ARNHEM". This print was issued in 1741 in Amsterdam by the well-known bookseller and publisher Isaak Tirion. The print was part of the monumental, richly illustrated topographical book series “Hedendaagsche historie of tegenwoordige staat van alle Volken,” specifically the part describing the history and geography of the province of Gelderland. The city view was sketched on site in 1729 by the famous topographical artist and designer Cornelis Pronk (lower left noted as C. Pronk ad viv. del. 1729). The refined copper plate engraving was subsequently developed in 1741 by the master engraver Jan Caspar Philips (lower right noted as J.C. Philips fecit 1741). The engraving shows a lively 18th-century view of the Grote Markt in Arnhem. To the left rises the imposing tower of the Sint-Eusebius Church (the Main Church), with the body of the church beside it, the old Prinsenhof and the historic town hall. In the square a covered market stall is visible and a horse-drawn cart passes through the center 16x 20 cm double-sided white, folded as issued 3 and 4. two city views of Arnhem and are titled "Aernhem 1630" (top) and "S Jans-Poort te Aernhem" (bottom). This specific print was issued in 1792 in Amsterdam by bookseller and publisher Johannes Antonius Crajenschot. The engravings appeared in a later, popular reissue of the monumental historical work “Kabinet van Nederlandsche en Kleefsche Oudheden.” The prints are drawn and engraved by the well-known Northern Dutch printmaker and etcher Abraham Rademaker (lower left noted as A. Rademaker fecit). He completed these detailed etchings originally between 1727 and 1733 for his earlier topographical compilation works. Although Rademaker made the prints in the 18th century, they intentionally depict the historical situation of Arnhem around the year 1630 (as stated lower right on both plates). Top illustration (No. 276 - "Aernhem"): Shows a profile or panorama view of the city of Arnhem from the opposite bank of the Rhine. Clearly recognizable in the silhouette are the medieval Sint-Walburgiskerk (left) and the large Sint-Eusebiuskerk (center). In the foreground a covered cart with horses. Bottom illustration (No. 277 - "S Jans-Poort te Aernhem"): Shows the fortified city wall of Arnhem with the historical St. Janspoort on the left and the associated drawbridge over the moat. dimensions: 7 x 10 cm double-sided white See the photos for a good impression, part of the description will be sent by registered mail
