Large Photographic Plates of Saba, Sint Eustatius, Sint Martin Caribbean, 1910
About the Item
These three original antique prints provide captivating glimpses into the Dutch West Indies, once a part of an educational series designed for school children. Numbered 151 to 153, they belong to a set of 170 prints meant to educate young minds about diverse subjects.
The prints offer vivid portrayals of specific locales: "St. Martin. Back Street. Great Bay. Philipsburg. Hoofdplaats van St. Martin," "Landingsplaats op St. Eutstatius," and "Fort Landing op Saba." Each print captures unique scenes, likely illustrating the daily life, landscapes, or notable landmarks of these Dutch West Indian territories.
Originally crafted as educational tools, these prints hold historical significance, serving as windows into the past for modern-day observers. They represent a curated collection of visual narratives, providing insights into the culture, geography, and societal aspects of these regions. While once intended for educational purposes, these prints now stand as valuable artifacts, offering both historical insights and visual intrigue for collectors, historians, or enthusiasts keen on exploring the rich heritage of the Dutch West Indies.
The plates issued by the company 'Kleynenberg' were intended to depict the living conditions in our former colonies. This was accomplished through enlarged images derived from then already aged photographs or glass slides."

Large Antique Bird Print of a White Bellied Caribbean Martin, circa 1807
Located in Langweer, NL
This captivating antique bird print, entitled "L'Hirondelle à ventre blanc", is a remarkable representation of the white-bellied Caribbean martin (Progne dominicensis), a species admired for its size and grace among the swallow family. It stands out as a collectible artwork from the historical compendium "Histoire Naturelle des Oiseaux de l'Amerique Septentrionale" by the ornithological innovator Louis Jean Pierre Vieillot, published circa 1807.
The artistry involved in this print is exemplary of early 19th-century techniques, with the original illustration by J.G. Pretre being skillfully engraved by L. Bouquet. The color printing, executed by Langlois, has been further enhanced by hand-finishing, a testament to the artisanship of the time and a quality highly prized by collectors.
A perfect amalgamation of natural history and art, this print captures the white-bellied Caribbean martin in stunning detail, from its glistening feathers to its contemplative gaze. The fine detail and the bird's animated posture provide a lifelike presence, reflecting Vieillot's progressive approach to ornithology — studying birds in their natural habitats, living and breathing, rather than as static museum specimens.
As a treasured addition to any antique print collection...
