SCHENK, Petrus. [Afbeelding der voornaamste gebouwen van Amsterdam.] Amsterdam: Barent Greve, [c.1710].
Extremely rare engravings of Amsterdam, depicting houses, churches, civil buildings and views of the city. This is probably the output of Pieter Schenk I (1661-1711), engraver and bookseller who became a prominent map maker. Schenk was apprenticed under Gerard Valk, and married Valk’s sister Agatha in 1687. From about 1680 both men specialised in portraits and topographical prints, of which the present series is an excellent example. The plates have captions in Dutch and Latin.
Oblong octavo (195 x 269mm). Engraved dedication to C. de Jonge van Ellemeet, list of plates, and 100 numbered plates (lacking title, some light soiling mainly confined to margins). Early 19th-century half sheep over imitation tree-calf paper-covered boards (extremities faintly rubbed), contemporary card slipcase (extremities rubbed). Provenance: Johann Christoph Böhm(e) (ownership inscription with place and date ‘Krämerbrücke Haus No. 1233, Erfurt 30te Juni’ on front free endpaper).
