About the Item

"Rare 1582 Copper Engraving of Hanseatic House, Antwerp by Guicciardini" This copper engraving, published in 1582 by Christoph Plantin in Antwerp, presents the impressive Hanseatic House (Hanzehuis) of Antwerp as it stood in 1568. Created by Lodovico Guicciardini, an Italian historian and cartographer, the engraving showcases the grandeur of this important trading house, a symbol of the Hanseatic League's power. The print is rich in architectural detail, capturing the lively atmosphere of one of Antwerp's most significant commercial landmarks, with bustling scenes of people and carriages. The building tragically burned down in 1893, making this a precious historical glimpse into a lost piece of Antwerp's heritage. Condition report: Light handling marks and slightly worn edges; overall in very good condition.
