The Chancellery in Leeuwarden, Holland – Original 1793 Hand-Coloured Engraving
About the Item
Title: 'De Kanselarij te Leeuwarden – Original 1793 Engraving by Karel Fredrik Bendorp'
Description: This original antique engraving, created in 1793 by Karel Fredrik Bendorp after the design by Jan Bulthuis, beautifully portrays the historic Chancellery (De Kanselarij) in Leeuwarden, the Netherlands.
The Renaissance-style Chancellery, with its ornate façade and decorative gables, is a highlight of Friesland’s architectural heritage. The detailed engraving captures the bustling atmosphere of the time, with figures in period dress alongside the canal and tree-lined street, creating a dynamic urban scene.
Condition and Presentation: The engraving is in a very good condition, with crisp lines and vibrant hand-coloring. It is carefully protected and enhanced by a cream matting board with a dark inner border, adding depth and emphasizing the detailed artistry. This presentation ensures its preservation and makes it ideal for display.
Significance: As an original work from 1793, this piece represents a fine collaboration between two accomplished artists. Bendorp’s precise engraving technique and Bulthuis’s artistic vision offer an authentic glimpse into late 18th-century Leeuwarden. The historical significance, combined with its artistic value, makes this an exceptional addition to collections of Dutch history or antique prints.

1810 Hand-Coloured Engraving - Tatar Peasants of the Crimean Peninsula
Description: This 1810 hand-coloured copperplate engraving from Carl Bertuch's "Bilderbuch für Kinder" ("Picture Book for Children") presents a lively scene of Tatar peasants in the Crimean Peninsula (modern-day Ukraine). The engraving captures rural daily life in vivid detail, depicting various activities that reflect the agricultural lifestyle of the region.
