Description
This large engraving (560x920mm.) comes from a are series of 25 beautiful large views of Amsterdam and gives a colorful picture of the life and business of the city at the beginning of the 18th century. The print gives a view of the cityscape and architecture of that time. It also shows daily manners and customs and all kinds of scenes take place; There is a fight to the left of the bridge in the foreground (now Prins Hendrik Kade), while in front of the Scheierstoren quiet citizens read the notes posted against it.At the beginning of the Geldersekade, on the corner with the Oudezijds Kolk, is the Schreierstoren. The Schreierstoren is the only remaining defensive tower of the medieval city wall. Originally the tower rose from the water with two loopholes just above the water surface.
At the beginning of the seventeenth century, the city wall was demolished and the canal was dug. The tower was originally called the Schreiershoekstoren. Schreihoek probably refers to the sharp corner where the Geldersekade and the Oudezijds Kolk meet. However, the Schreierstoren has gone down in history as the place where many women saw their loved ones sail away while crying.
The Geldersekade owes its name to the moored barges, a type of regular scheduled service, that sailed to the cities of Gelderland after this canal was located within the new city walls.

In earlier examples, the bulbs were connected with a material such as putty or hardened wax, bound in leather, linen or string. From about 1720, the two bulbs were welded together over a brass bead...
