.. Antique Print of Fraeylema Castle by Christ (1846)

Description: Antique print titled 'Fraeijlemaborg.' (Fraeylema Castle.) This Castle is situated in the province of Groningen in Slochteren. It was built around 1500 and its first known occupant was Remmert Fraeylema. Today it houses a museum, restaurant and is used as a wedding location.

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.
