Antique View of Amsterdam’s Haringpakkerij and Nieuwe Stadsherberg Bridge, c1850

About the Item

Antique View of Amsterdam’s Haringpakkerij and Nieuwe Stadsherberg Bridge Description: This charming mid-19th-century hand-colored lithograph titled *Haringpakkerij en Brug van de Nieuwe Stadsherberg* offers a lively glimpse into the historical waterfront of Amsterdam. The scene, bustling with boats and lined with stately Dutch canal houses, captures an area once renowned for its busy fish markets and maritime trade. Published by Frans Buffa & Zonen in Amsterdam, this lithograph exemplifies the 19th-century fascination with detailed topographical views of city life. The drawing is attributed to C. Springer, a master of Dutch urban scenes, and lithographed by T. Fontaine. This collaboration resulted in a print that combines architectural precision with a romantic interpretation of Amsterdam’s daily life. The composition shows the drawbridge leading to the Nieuwe Stadsherberg, a famous inn and landmark on the harbor’s edge, with the Haringpakkerij (herring packing facility) in the foreground. Flat-bottomed boats and small barges navigate the calm waters of the harbor, while figures cross the bridge or load goods along the quays. The dome of the Koopmansbeurs (Merchants’ Exchange) rises in the distance, reflecting the prosperity of Amsterdam’s bustling waterfront during the 1800s. Soft pastel hues and fine line work bring the scene to life, enhancing its nostalgic and picturesque qualities. These types of cityscapes were popular souvenirs for travelers and remain highly collectible today, especially for those interested in maritime history or the evolving architecture of the Dutch Golden Age city. This lithograph is a fine addition to collections of Amsterdam topography, antique lithographs, or maritime scenes. It also makes an elegant accent piece for interiors seeking a touch of old-world European charm and historical significance. Condition report: Very good condition. Delicate hand coloring is vivid and well-preserved. Slight age toning and faint spotting in the wide margins. No tears or repairs. Image area is pristine and shows clear plate lines. Framing tips: Frame in a dark wood or gold tone to enhance the warm hand coloring. Use a cream or light grey mat to highlight the fine details and complement the architectural forms.
