JeJenJeen Harbor Skyline Sailboats China 1665 original antique engraved view

Jejenjeen

(Harbor View- Skyline- Sailboats)

(China)

Printed 1665, Amsterdam by Jacob van Meurs

Fine and well engraved original antique print which originally appeared within the rare and sought after (and very expensive) "Beschryving van't gesandscha..Oost- Indische Compagnie aan den Grooten Tartischen Cham nu Keyser van China".

Printed on quality period paper as issued, text below the image and on the back as always which shows typical gentle signs of age, perhaps some minor light spotting or foxing, but retains its inherent structural flexibility and soundness.

An appealing, uncommon and interesting antique image which could readily be collected on it's own merits, displayed or given as a present.

In Good+ or better antiquarian condition, mostly clean overall, light minor age dustiness or light surface wear, and some light scattered foxing, browning, edge wear, etc. primarily in the blank margins, overall the image is clean and very attractive -- please inspect enlargeable photo closely, any noteworthy flaws to the printed surface area should be noticeable within picture provided.

[ note: We grade very conservatively and always seek to disclose any noteworthy flaws. We are doing our best to show & describe this item so you are happy when it arrives ].

Despite any small age flaws, the printed area remains visually pleasing, and the print is well preserved. Worthy of framing or adding to an album.

Overall a nice impression of an original and interesting antique printed image that any collector, curator or institution would be happy to own or display.
