Antique Print of Rechteren Castle by Christ (1846)

Description: Antique print titled 'Het huis Rechteren.' (Rechteren Castle.) This Castle is situated in the province of Overijssel in Dalfsen. The castle was built in the 14th century by Herman van Voorst. Other well known occupants were the Van Heeckeren family who still occupy the last remaining castle from the middle ages of Overijssel.

This delicate original old antique view originates from: 'Oud-Nederland in de uit vroegere dagen, overgeblevene Burgen en Kasteelen. Geschetst en afgebeeld, door Mr. C.P.E. Robide van de Aa.', published in Nijmegen by C.A. Vieweg, 1846. (Historic Netherlands and its remaining Castles.)

Artists and Engravers: The author of this work is Christianus Petrus Eliza Robide van der Aa (1791-1851), a Dutch lawyer/judge and writer. Most of the Lithographs in this work by several lithographers are after Johannes Francisciscus Christ (1790-1845), a painter from Nijmegen.
