1875 Engraving of the Historic City Hall in Veere in Zeeland by E. Thérond

About the Item

This is an 1875 wood engraving of the *Stadhuis te Veere* (City Hall of Veere), published in *De Aarde en haar Volken* by Uitgeverij Kruseman & Tjeenk Willink, Haarlem. The illustration was created by E. Thérond, based on a photograph, and it beautifully captures the gothic-style architecture of the city hall in Veere, located in the Dutch province of Zeeland in The Netherlands. The *Stadhuis* is notable for its striking tower with intricate spires and decorative elements, showcasing the grandeur of Dutch municipal buildings in the late Middle Ages. The detailed façade, with its rows of tall windows and gothic ornamentation, speaks to the civic pride and historical significance of the building. The engraving reflects the skillful hand-coloring and attention to architectural detail typical of 19th-century prints, making it not only a historical document but also a work of art. In the foreground, several figures are depicted walking near the building, adding a sense of daily life and interaction with the prominent structure, which remains one of Veere's key landmarks. The technique used for this print is wood engraving, or *houtgravure* in Dutch. Wood engraving was a popular printing method in the 19th century, allowing for detailed images to be carved into wood blocks and then printed in large quantities. The method is known for its ability to produce fine lines and detailed textures, making it ideal for architectural depictions like this engraving of the Stadhuis te Veere. After the engraving process, hand-coloring was often applied to enhance the visual appeal, as seen in this print.
