Title: T Oost Indische Magazyn—Oostenburg, Amsterdam VOC shipyard—Mulder 1726 printDescription: T Oost Indische Magazyn, en Scheeps-Timmer-Werf [The East India Warehouse and Shipbuilding Yard]. An evocative Amsterdam VOC view with exceptional modern provenance, acquired from the estate of Rex Cowan, the shipwreck explorer whose career was bound up with Dutch East India Company treasure wrecks. Mulder’s engraving shows the Oost-Indisch Zeemagazijn and shipyard on Oostenburg, the industrial heart of Amsterdam’s Asian trade, with vessels, wharves and warehouse activity along the IJ. For Cowan this was not simply a decorative city view: it represented the shore-side machinery behind the ships he pursued on the seabed, including the Amsterdam-built Hollandia, wrecked off the Isles of Scilly in 1743 and discovered by his team in 1971. A strong VOC subject, strengthened by direct provenance from one of the great modern figures in maritime archaeology by Mulder, Joseph. Published 1726. Large antique uncoloured engraving print. Size 30 x 37 cm | 12.0 x 14.5 inches. Condition: Good; suitable for framing. Folds as issued. Short repaired split to lower part of right hand vertical fold. Light marginal creasing. Strong impression. Please check the scan for any blemishes prior to making your purchase. Please contact us if you would like to arrange to view this print. This is a folding print. There is nothing printed on the reverse side, which is plain. Tags: 1726, Amsterdam, Beschryvinge van Amsterdam, India, Mulder Joseph, Netherlands, Print, Ships
