Netherlands, The Hague, Koorenhuis, R. Boitet, 1730, ´t Kooren-Huis

Large and very beautifully engraved 18th century view of the Koorenhuis on the Prinsengracht in The Hague.

The Koorenhuis is today a cultural centre in the city centre of The Hague. The Koorenhuis was built as a corn exchange in 1662-1663. It was a building where corn was stored and traded.

The plate comes from: 'Beschrijving van 's Gravenhage.', by Mr Jacob Riemer (1676-1762), published in Delft by Reinier Boitet, 1730.

The book contains many beautiful engravings of important buildings, churches, monasteries, estates and castles in The Hague.

The plates were engraved by Gerrit van Giesen (1692-1750), Jan Caspar Phillips (1700-1765) and F. v. Bleyswyck. Published by Reinier Boitet (1680-1750).
