About the Item

Here is a full listing description for the print titled "Amsterdam" published by Baedeker: **Title (80 characters):** View of Amsterdam from the Water with Sailing Ships, Baedeker, circa 1850 **Description (300+ words):** This finely detailed lithograph presents a panoramic view of Amsterdam as seen from the water, published by the famed Baedeker publishing house around the mid-19th century. Titled simply *Amsterdam*, the image offers a lively depiction of the city's bustling port and maritime character, emphasizing Amsterdam’s historical role as a center of global trade and navigation. Drawn by W\.L. Paeth and engraved by J. Spieerli, the scene shows the city in full activity. Tall-masted sailing ships, small fishing boats, and elegant skiffs occupy the calm waters of the harbor. In the background, a row of townhouses and prominent church spires create a recognizably Dutch skyline, punctuated by several windmills dotting the horizon. Domed towers and steeples rise above the rooftops, conveying the architectural richness of the historic city. The foreground shows a dike or quay path with pedestrians, including families and fishermen, adding a human scale to the composition. Their clothing, posture, and interaction suggest the everyday rhythms of life along the waterfront in the 19th century. The contrast between land and water, leisure and labor, urbanity and nature, is elegantly portrayed in this romanticized yet informative composition. This print was produced as part of a series of city views likely intended for the travel market. Baedeker, best known for their guidebooks, also issued high-quality prints to accompany or illustrate the destinations covered in their publications. This print would have served both as a collectible souvenir and a visual introduction to one of Europe’s most important cities. Ideal for collectors of topographical prints, maritime scenes, or 19th-century European lithographs, this piece offers historical and decorative value alike. Condition Report: Good condition. Mild age toning and occasional foxing, primarily in the margins. Image area well preserved with strong contrast and clarity. Full sheet, blank verso, and visible plate impression. Framing Tips: Frame in a medium or dark walnut moulding to echo the sepia tones. Use a warm white or off-white mat to highlight the lithograph’s depth.
