The document functions as a navigational aid, detailing depth measurements for the Nieuwe Diep harbour area. It provides a structured grid of data points, categorised by specific locations such as the Wier Hoofd and the Jagthaven Hoofd. The text includes a formal note regarding the methodology of the soundings, referencing the years 1782 and 1784.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a piece of cartographic history, the work reflects the precision required for maritime safety in the eighteenth-century Netherlands. The layout is strictly functional, prioritising clarity and numerical accuracy over decorative elements. The typography is characteristic of the period, with clear, legible numerals arranged in rows and columns to assist mariners in navigating the shifting sands and depths of the harbour. The inclusion of specific location markers, such as Paal A through Paal E, indicates a systematic approach to surveying the seabed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis print is a document of maritime infrastructure. It captures the intersection of science and commerce in the Dutch Republic, where accurate hydrographic data was essential for the operation of the naval and merchant fleets. The engraving process allows for the reproduction of these complex tables with high fidelity, ensuring that multiple copies could be distributed to pilots and harbour masters. The aesthetic is one of utilitarian order, typical of Enlightenment-era technical documentation. The presence of the stamp in the lower right corner suggests this copy was once part of a formal archive or institutional collection.

Schenk, an active printmaker in Amsterdam during the eighteenth century, produced numerous topographical views that documented the urban and rural character of the Netherlands. The composition provides a clear view of the gatehouse, which served as a defensive and administrative entry point to the city. To the right, a windmill stands upon the ramparts, a common feature of Dutch fortifications of the period. The foreground features a canal, with small boats occupied by figures, providing a sense of scale and daily activity. The sky is rendered with fine cross-hatching, suggesting a cloudy, overcast day typical of the region. The print includes bilingual titles in Dutch and French, a common practice for eighteenth-century prints intended for a wider European market. The architectural details of the gate, including the pediment and stonework, are executed with precision, reflecting the technical standards of the period. This work offers a glimpse into the appearance of Alkmaar before the industrial changes of the nineteenth century. The print captures the intersection of civic architecture and the surrounding water-based infrastructure that defined Dutch life. By focusing on the gate, Schenk provides a record of the city's defensive perimeter, which was gradually dismantled as urban needs shifted. The inclusion of figures in the boats and near the gate adds a narrative quality to the scene, grounding the architectural subject in the reality of contemporary life. This print is a valuable example of the topographical tradition that flourished in the Netherlands, where artists sought to document the specificities of local geography for both residents and travellers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/apotheosis-of-hercules-giovanni-domenico-tiepolo\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eApotheosis of Hercules - Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo — Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/gezicht-op-de-zijkant-van-tower-cottage-shanklin-henry-pauw-van-wieldrecht\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eGezicht op de zijkant van Tower Cottage, Shanklin - Henry Pauw van Wieldrecht — Henry Pauw van Wieldrecht\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Leonard Schenk","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58456335483215,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58456339972431,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58456340005199,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58456340037967,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58456340070735,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58456340103503,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58456340136271,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58456340169039,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58456340201807,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58456340234575,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58456340267343,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58456340300111,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Gezicht-op-de-Schermerpoort-te-Alkmaar_Poster_CompositorV1_1786262312726.jpg?v=1786505526"},{"product_id":"gezicht-op-de-nieuwe-doelen-te-alkmaar-leonard-schenk","title":"Gezicht op de Nieuwe Doelen te Alkmaar - Leonard Schenk","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn eighteenth-century etching by Leonard Schenk depicting the Nieuwe Doelen in Alkmaar, showcasing the architectural detail of the historic civic building.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis etching and engraving by Leonard Schenk depicts the Nieuwe Doelen in Alkmaar, a building historically associated with the city's civic guard.
