View of the Island Onrust Near Batavia 'Jakarta', Indonesia, 1739
Located in Langweer, NL
Antique print titled 'Ein Prospect der Insul Onrust oder Unruhe 2 Meilen von Batavia gelegen.' (View of the island ' Onrust' near Batavia.) Onrust Island also known as Pulau Onrust or Pulau Kapal (ship island) is an Indonesian island off the coast of Jakarta. It measures about 3.5 km2 (1.4 sq mi) and is part of the Thousand Islands. The town on the island had houses and warehouses, but it also had a gunpowder magazine, a storage for water transported from Batavia, general warehouses, and a lot of warehouses specifically meant to store pepper. Specific to the shipyard were the reservoirs for trees. Sawing windmills processed these trees to make planks for the shipyards. There was also a smithy that served the shipyard. Near the waterfront there were special installations to easily pull ships on their side. Sometimes ships for local use were built at the island. The VOC employees were only allowed to leave the island two times a year. In 1911 Onrust Island was turned into a quarantine station for pilgrims returning from the Hajj. The island had the advantage of being completely isolated. Furthermore, it was so small that it was possible to make it malaria free by the only method known at the time. This was done by filling up all the small ponds and other fresh water instances on the island and by removing most vegetation. Later a sanatorium for lung diseases was established on the island, because of the very much improved health situation. From 1933 it was used to lock up the mutineers of the 1933 mutiny on the HNLMS De Zeven Provinciën (1909). In 1940 German nationals were interned on Onrust. In May 1940 the Netherlands were attacked by Germany. In the Dutch East Indies thousands of Germans, Hungarians, Czechs, Italians, Dutchmen with a German family name, and members of the National Socialist Movement in the Netherlands were arrested and locked up at Onrust and in Ngawai. After war with Japan broke out on 8 December 1941 a small part of these prisoners was evacuated to Suriname. The Japanese also used Onrust as a prison. On 23 January 1950 Raymond Westerling attempted the APRA coup d'état. It failed, and most of the APRA military were seized by the Dutch troops that were still on Java. The Dutch military...

Optical View Depicting the Siege of Barcelona, Spain, ca.1765
Located in Langweer, NL
Antique print Barcelona titled 'Aggressio et Circumunitio in via cooperta'. Optical view depicting the siege of Barcelona (Spain) which took place between 25 July 1713 and 11 September 1714. With Latin, French, Italian and German caption. Artists and Engravers: Georg Balthasar Probst (1732 - 1801) was a German artist, engraver and publisher in Augsburg. The Siege of Barcelona (Catalan: Setge de Barcelona) was a battle at the end of the War of Spanish Succession, which pitted Archduke Charles of Austria (backed by Great Britain and the Netherlands, i.e. the Grand Alliance) against Philip V of Spain, backed by France in a contest for the Spanish crown. The surrender of the pro-Archduke forces to the Franco-Spanish army in 1714 was not only the end of the war, but also a phase in the centralization of various monarchies on the European continent which had been going on for two centuries. With the War of the Spanish Succession completed, Spain evolved from a personal union of different states to a centralized kingdom. The defenders of the city were buried in a cemetery, now a plaça (Catalan: square) called Fossar de les Moreres, where Catalans gather every 11 September, known as the National Day of Catalonia or la Diada. The former market hall Mercat del Born covers archaeological ruins which were part of the La Ribera district of Barcelona that was demolished after the defeat of Catalonia in 1714. The alleged abandonment of the Catalans defenders of Barcelona was one of the criticisms made by his opponents during the British Parliament...

His earliest dated engravings are of 1672 (e.g. the Siege of Groningen , Hollstein, no. 4), and he supplied numerous plates for books published from that date onwards. His work brought him into contact with the court of William of Orange and in 1686 he produced six plates depicting William of Orange, his Wife and Attendants near The Hague (Hollstein, no. 5). Shortly after the Glorious Revolution of 1688 Kip followed the court to England.
