Netherlands, The Hague, Treves Room Boitet, 1730, Treves-Kamer van haar Hoog. Mog. De Staten Generaal der Vereenigde Nederlanden

Very large (44x71.5cm) and beautifully engraved 18th-century antique print entitled "Trêves-Kamer van haar Hoog. Mog. De Staten Generaal der Vereenigde Nederlanden" (Treves Room of its Highness the States General of the United Netherlands). The Trêves Room is a historic meeting room dating from 1697 in the Binnenhof (Inner Court) in The Hague and is part of the Ministry of General Affairs buildings. Since 1977, it has been the permanent meeting room of the Dutch Council of Ministers. The legend A-L appears in the caption. It is currently the meeting room of the Council of Ministers (once the Binnenhof renovation is 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). Some minimal age browning. Otherwise excellent. Folds as published.
