Netherlands, The Hague, Senate Boitet, 1730, Vergader-Kamer van de Heeren Staten van Holland en Westvriesland

Very large (54x80cm) and beautifully engraved 18th-century antique print entitled 'Meeting Chamber of the Lords of the States of Holland and West Friesland'. Old print of the meeting room of the Binnenhof (Inner Court) of the Lords of the States of Holland and West Friesland in The Hague during a meeting of the States. The caption includes the key A-K. It is currently the meeting room of the Senate (once the Binnenhof renovations are complete).

Artists and engravers: Engraved by J.C. Philips after a drawing by Mattheus Terwesten and Gerrit van Giessen.

The plate is from: 'Description of The Hague', by 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).

Good to very good condition, very thick paper and very clear print. Some minor repairs/reinforcements at the intersection of some folds, but without affecting the image (see image). Otherwise excellent. Folds as published.
