FINE VIEW OF THE BINNEN AMSTEL WITH TOW BARGES<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pen and watercolour drawing executed in the late 18th century<\/strong> by a follower of Jan de Beijer<\/strong>. Size: 25 \u00d7 37.5 cm.<\/p>\n

We are looking across the Binnen Amstel (the Amstel river within the Amsterdam city boundaries), with two tow barges belonging to the \u2019s-Graveland ferry service in the foreground, and westwards towards the Schapenplein (today\u2019s Muntplein), with the Munttoren<\/a> beyond. Spanning the water is the Halvemaansbrug. To the right of the Munttoren are the Engelse Huizen [English Houses] and the back of the Nieuwe Doelenstraat.<\/p>\n

From this spot, scheduled packet boats<\/a> sailed to the village of \u2019s-Graveland in the Gooi region, where a number of affluent Amsterdam families maintained country estates. Travel by boat was preferred to travelling by carriage, since the roads were paved in very few places.<\/p>\n

At the far end of the Halvemaansbrug, to the left and outside the picture, stands today\u2019s Kleine Komedie theatre, while the Halvemaansteeg leads towards Rembrandtplein. Although the wooden drawbridge was replaced in 1863, this remains one of Amsterdam\u2019s picturesque corners.<\/p>\n

The Amsterdam City Archives preserves a drawing by Jan de Beijer<\/a> and an engraving by Simon Fokke<\/a> (after a slightly different drawing by Jan de Beijer), which, although differing particularly in the staffage, must have served as models for the present drawing.<\/p>\n
