Rare Print of a Nilometer, a Structure Used to Calculate Taxes in Egypt, 1802
Located in Langweer, NL
How high is the water, mama?
Johny Cash was asking his mother, when it is was '6 feet high and rising'. In Egypt it would probably mean that taxes that year would be low.
In Egypt it all depended on the behavior of the Nile and a Priest, who would monitor the so-called Nilometer.
A nilometer was a structure for measuring the Nile River's clarity and water level during the annual flood season. If the water level was low, there would be less food. If it was too high, it would be destructive. There was a specific mark that indicated how high the flood should be if the fields were to get good soil. Their predictions would determine how much money...

Antique Print of Capitan Pacha, The Military Costume of Turkey, 1818
Located in Langweer, NL
This print is from 'The Military Costume of Turkey. Illustrated by A Series of Engravings. From Drawings made on the Spot. Dedicated by Permission to His Excellency the Minister of the Ottoman Porte to his Britannic Majesty.'
London, Published by Thomas M'Lean, Haymarket, (1818). Folio. One of 29 fine handcoloured aquatint plates . Very light offsetting from plate. The original accompanying text of this print is as follows:
'THE Capitan Pacha has the supreme command of the Turkish Navy, in which he has the appointment of all the principal officers. His power also extends over the islands of the Archipelago, where he sails every Spring for the purpose of receiving the capitation tax.
The Turkish navy is chiefly navigated by Greek sailors, whilst Turkish soldiers are embarked for the purposes of attack and defence. The thirtyfirst ortah, or regiment, of Janizaries, whose symbol is an anchor, are chiefly employed for this last purpose, which therefore bears some analogy to our marine corps.

Rustic Reflections: 1825 Peasant Scene Engraving by Ludwig Emil Grimm
Located in Langweer, NL
The antique print described is a captivating representation of rural life from the early 19th century, engraved by Ludwig Emil Grimm and published around 1825. Ludwig Emil Grimm, born in 1790 in Germany, was a notable artist and engraver of the time, known for his skill in capturing the essence of everyday life, particularly in rural settings.
**Key Elements of the Print:**
1. **Subject Matter**: The print depicts two peasants in traditional attire, engaged in a moment of rest or conversation. This subject is typical of the Romantic era, which often romanticized rural life and the simplicity of the peasantry.
2. **The Woman**: She is shown sitting with a fruit basket in her right hand, suggesting a scene of harvest or market life. Her left hand raised to her chin indicates a moment of thought or conversation, adding a reflective or contemplative quality to the scene.
3. **The Man**: Holding a shepherd's staff, he represents the pastoral life, a common theme in art that idealizes the shepherd's connection with nature and the countryside.
4. **Costumes and Detailing**: The 'antique costume' implies traditional rural attire, which would have been specific to the region and period, providing a historical insight into the fashion and lifestyle of rural populations in the early 1800s.
5. **Artistic Style**: Grimm's style is likely to reflect the Romantic movement, characterized by its emphasis on emotion, nature, and the glorification of the past. His work often contained a level of detail that brought a sense of realism and authenticity to his subjects.
6. **Cultural and Historical Significance**: This print serves as a window into the early 19th-century rural life, reflecting the social, cultural, and economic conditions of the time. It offers a glimpse into the daily lives and roles of peasants in the early 1800s.
7. **Ludwig Emil Grimm's Legacy**: As a member of the Grimm family, Ludwig was lesser-known compared to his brothers, Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm...

Antique Satirical Print of the Duchess of St Albans by Heath '1829'
Located in Langweer, NL
Antique print titled 'Run Neighbours Run - St Al_ns is Quadrilling It'. In this print, the Duchess of St Albans dances a quadrille (a dance performed by four couples) with an unidentified naval officer, whose dancing steps resemble those of the hornpipe, a dance popular among sailors. The other three couples of the quadrille stand around them, looking on. All of the figures are fashionably dressed, with the Duchess' clothing being particularly extravagant.
Harriot Mellon, Duchess of St Albans, was a former actress who married the elderly banker Thomas Coutts in 1815. After Coutts' death, she remarried to the Duke of St Albans in 1827, causing a scandal due to his being 23 years younger than she. Mellon, the richest woman in Britain after her husband's death, was a philathropist and patron of the arts, but was a controversial figure in fashionable society due to her humble origins.
