Exceptionally rare issue of a commodity price current for the Amsterdam market providing merchants with up-to-date market prices for a wide range of goods. This publication was issued every Monday from 1609 onward although comparable price lists are known to have circulated as early as 1585.

They were especially popular among foreign merchants.The present issue dated 13 February 1741 provides a detailed overview of contemporary market prices across a wide range of commodities. These include herbs and spices sugar materials for paint production pharmaceutical goods salt metals and munitions flax and hemp animal skins pitch and tar fish oils tobacco honey and wax as well as various textiles including silks cottons and woollens.

[PANORAMA - AMSTERDAM]. Johan Conrad GREIVE jr (illustrator).Biblio.com

Panorama dAmsterdam.

1860réf. ABC_50131Amsterdam: printed by R. de Vries for François Buffa & Sons 1860. Original brown blind-stamped wave-grained cloth with the title and imprint information lettered in gold on the front board in a rococo frame yellow endpapers. Oblong ca.16.4 x 24.6 cm. per leaf. The panorama is made up of 8 numbered lithographed views printed in monochrome with beige tone block. The viewer looks southward from the IJ over the city from the Oosterdok eastern dock and the Oosterkerk eastern church along the docks and wharfs via the recognisable towers of several churches and the view of the Royal Palace to the Westerdok western dock a large factory and the Blauwhoofd the northwestern-most bulwark of the city. Extremely rare leporello-style bound copy of a lithographic panorama of Amsterdam printed in monochrome with a beige tone block after drawings by Johan Conrad Greive 1837-1891 and lithographed by Ruurt de Vries Jr. 1813-1874.A remarkably precise and atmospheric profile of Amsterdams IJ waterfront extending from the Lijnbanen to beyond the Blaauwhoofd. The principal buildings are identified beneath each plate. The panorama captures in extraordinary detail the eastern docks the Oosterdok and Westerdok areas and numerous landmarks including the Zeemagazijn Admiraliteitsmagazijn Oosterkerk Zuiderkerk Oude Kerk the Dam with the Royal Palace and Nieuwe Kerk Westerkerk Noorderkerk and the bustling shipping of the IJ. A distant suggestion of Haarlems St Bavos Church may be discerned on the horizon.Greives meticulous urban draughtsmanship is akin to painting with the precision of photography. He later became chairman of Arti et Amicitiae and was celebrated for his highly detailed views of cities and rivers.The present example is preserved in a true leporello concertina binding: the front and back boards are not joined at the spine but are attached only to the first and last leaves of the accordion-folded sheets.This work is extremely rare: we have located only two other bound copies both held at the University of Groningen. Curiously of the related publication Panorama de Rotterdam likewise illustrated by J.C. Greive and published by François Buffa & Sons only a single surviving copy is recorded also at the University of Groningen. We have traced another copy of the Rotterdam panorama at the House of European History.The work has been cut slightly short touching the plate numbering and is slightly foxed throughout. Otherwise in very good condition.l d'Ailly Repertorium 278; Rijksmuseum object no.
