Description

An interior scene in aquatint with etching and hand colouring of the Czar Peter House in Zaandam, Netherlands. It is best known as the place where Tsar Peter I of Russia resided in 1697 during his Grand Embassy. Zaandam was a renowned shipbuilding district, and Peter had visited the region to learn about Dutch techniques. Fittingly, the old wooden house in which he slept was constructed from repurposed ship materials. Inscribed with information regarding the scene below the print in French to the left and Dutch to the right. Unsigned. On wove.

Condition

The condition is typical for a picture of this age including some foxing, discolouration, and surface dirt. There is a closed tear measuring 1.6cm to the lower-right edge and a crease to the lower-left corner.
