Antique Print of the Mountains and Strait of Sang Wan Hab by Van Schley, 1749

About the Item

Antique print titled 'Bergen en Straat van Sang-Wan-Hab'. View of the mountains and strait of Sang Wan Hab, China. This print originates from a Dutch edition of Prevost's 'Histoire Géneral des Voyages' titled 'Historische beschryving der reizen, of Nieuwe en volkoome verzameling van de aller-waardigste en zeldsaamste zee- en landtogten (..)' by Pieter de Hondt. Artists and Engravers: Jakob van der Schley (26th July 1715 - 12th February 1779), also known as Jan von Schley or Jacobus van Schley, was a Dutch engraver and draughtsman. An apprentice of the French engraver Bernard Picart, he is best known for his engravings of the majority of plates in the Dutch edition of 'l'Histoire Géneral des Voyages.' Despite producing mainly maps and views for this work, van der Schley was predominantly a portrait artist and literary illustrator. Condition: Good, given age. General age-related toning and/or occasional minor defects from handling. Small ink spot at the bottom of the print. Please study scan carefully. Date: 1749 Overall size: 20 x 27.3 cm Image size: 13.5 x 19.6 cm Whilst cartography holds a special place in our collection, we also offer thousands of antique prints covering fields of interest as diverse as architecture, natural history, religion, ethnology and many more. Antique prints have long been appreciated for both their aesthetic and investment value. They were the product of engraved, etched or lithographed plates. These plates were handmade out of wood or metal, which required an incredible level of skill, patience and craftsmanship. Whether you have a house with Victorian furniture or more contemporary decor an old engraving can enhance your living space. We offer a wide range of authentic antique prints for any budget.
