Antique Print of Kampen by Terwen (1863)

Description: Plate : 'Kampen.' (Kampen, The Netherlands, view). This original antique print originates from 'Het koningrijk der Nederlanden voorgesteld in eene reeks van 136 naar de natuur geteekende schilderachtige gezigten' authored by J. L. Terwen and published by G.B. van Goor in Gouda, 1858 or from the holland section of 'Der Rhein und die Rheinlande in malerischen original ansichten', published by Gustav Georg Lange in Darmstadt 1863. The last work has some more plates added. The engravings are mostly after L. Rohbock and W.J. Cooke and engraved by John Poppel and others.
