1599ref. DB9FTP3RHVIKAntwerp 1599. Pieter Bast Framed. Large engraved panorama on 2 sheets ca. 27 x 76 cm as assembled. Rare first state of a 16th-century view of Amsterdam as seen from the inlet known as the IJ made by Pieter Bast a Dutch engraver from Antwerp best known for his city map of Amsterdam and this view. "In its amplitude and the sheer audacity of the presentation this engraving is indisputably one of Bast's most significant creations. It is as much a portrait of the harbour of Amsterdam as of the city itself and underscores the unique importance of maritime trade as the principle source of the city's wealth and power". With its distinctive orientation he not only initiated the series of representations of Amsterdam as seen from the IJ but also "established the standard for an entire genre of Dutch maritime painting" Keyes. In 1611 a second state edition was published by Claesz Jansz. Visscher who drastically altered the composition.

1920ref. 169341920. California Bay View Hospital photograph album circa 1920s documenting hospital-based nursing labor clinical environments and domestic social networks within an early twentieth-century medical setting. The album provides visual evidence of women's professional roles in institutional healthcare during a period of expanding nursing formalization while also capturing physician authority patient care practices and the integration of therapeutic design principles such as open-air treatment. The material supports research into gendered medical labor hospital culture and evolving standards of care in the interwar United States particularly through its combined focus on clinical social and environmental aspects of institutional medicine. Photograph album containing 63 original silver gelatin prints many with handwritten captions identifying individuals as "mother" "Ed" or "our gang" alongside named medical personnel including "Drs. Sowers and Orr and Miss Duffy" "Dr. Burns" and "Mrs. Rehak." A building identified in one image as "Bay View Hospital" provides the only direct institutional reference. Sixteen photographs depict women in nurses' uniforms often posed in groups outdoors or on hospital terraces where rows of empty patient beds are visible behind them indicating the use of open-air treatment spaces. Additional images show physicians in clinical contexts including a group of five men dressed in surgical attire with caps and masks lowered around their necks suggesting an operating team between procedures. One image labeled "Dr. Burns Walter" depicts a young child bathing in a shallow tub under the supervision of an adult male likely documenting pediatric care practices. The album also includes informal photographs of family members children and pets in rural or outdoor settings indicating overlap between professional and personal social worlds. The Album has 63 photographs mounted across 100 pages with approximately 70 pages left blank; images measuring approximately 2.75 x 3.5 inches; original black cloth boards; album measuring 7.25 x 11.5 inches. Early twentieth-century hospital design emphasized fresh air as a therapeutic necessity particularly in the treatment of tuberculosis and other chronic illnesses and the repeated presence of outdoor patient beds and staff gatherings reflects these prevailing medical theories in practice. The juxtaposition of clinical and domestic imagery situates nursing staff within both institutional hierarchies and broader social networks offering insight into the lived experience of women working in healthcare during this period. First four pages detached minor wear to boards photographs generally well-preserved with occasional light fading; overall good to very good condition. A cohesive and well-captioned visual record of early twentieth-century hospital life with particular relevance to the history of nursing and medical practice. unknown
1728ref. 91I90T01U79OAmsterdam 1728. Leonardus Schenk Framed 82.5 x 121 cm. Large engraved wall print on 2 sheets together 57.5 x 97 cm showing the Leiden city wall between the Koepoort and Zijlpoort with various windmills and prominent buildings in the background identified by name. The title appears in a banderole at the head with putti on either side holding the arms of Leiden and Holland. Leonardus Schenk's name appears as engraver and publisher at the right end of the banderole. Large view of the city of Leiden by the Amsterdam engraver and publisher Leonardus Schenk. The viewer observes the city from the south from between the city's Koe and Zijl gates. In the background several windmills and a few characteristic buildings are identified by name in the engraving including the university the library the Pieterskerk the Town Hall the Mare kerk the "Burcht" the fort and the Hooglandse kerk. On the quay outside the wall groups of people walk sporadically passed by small boats on the nearby city moat. In the foreground we see a typical Dutch landscape with grazing cattle farm workers a loaded hay cart and haystacks in the field. We know of several other wall prints by Schenk depicting local situations with almost photographic detail. Thanks to this detail important socio-historical aspects have been passed on to later generations giving these prints an important cultural meaning today.

1910ref. J68AIMO7W1D1Palestine 1910. Rolled up and kept in a cardboard tube. An enormous panoramic view drawn in coloured gouaches on a single continuous roll of unwatermarked wove paper 70 x 583 cm the drawing running to the edges of the paper. A panoramic view of what appears to be a fantasy Middle Eastern landscape with spectacular mountains in the background a body of water near each end and a wide variety of buildings and ruins some clearly classical Roman and others Middle Eastern. The combination of classical Roman architecture with dromedaries and other Middle Eastern features places it very likely in Palestine but we have not been able to identify specific buildings. The most distinctive ruin a round Roman temple with five columns on the viewer's side an entablature above them and a vertical base below them looks more like the Temple of the Vesta at Tivoli than like any known in the Middle East the columns are not rendered in sufficient detail to determine their order but they are almost certainly not Ionic and are probably Corinthian. There are also classical Roman aqueducts. The six shepherds with their flocks all wear broad-brimmed hats and have staffs and two are blowing long slightly curved horns. Several more figures with broad-brimmed hats and staffs might be pilgrims one together with what is presumably his wife. With a 33 cm tear into the left end a few insignificant and much smaller tears and with pin holes about 1 cm from the edges from mounting on a wall but otherwise in very good condition and with the colours fresh and bright. A spectacular panoramic view of the Middle East including many classical Roman ruins. unknown
1728ref. A2RGD4WT38YEAmsterdam: Leonardus Schenk 1728. In black passepartout and gilt frame 82 x 121 cm. Large engraved wall print on 2 sheets together 58 x 97 cm the sheets overlapping each other slightly showing the traditional business centre of the city of Leiden. The title both in Dutch and French is printed in a banderole at the head with putti on each side supporting the arms of Leiden and Holland. Leonardus Schenk's name appears as engraver and publisher at the right tip of the banderole. A large engraved wall print in two sheets showing the trading and commercial centre of the city of Leiden at the convergence of the Oude Rijn and Nieuwe Rijn canals. Unlike most other Dutch towns Leiden had no central market square so that the waterways formed the major access routes for merchandise. On the banks of the canals there is a lively market that converges on the bridge central in the print. Market traders and customers come and go. Women from the coastal fishing villages of Katwijk and Noortwijk display fresh fish for sale. Right in the print we see the monumental "Waag" the weigh-house built in 1658 following a plan by the Dutch architect and engraver Pieter Post. The splendid relief designed by Rombout Verhulst that crowns the entrance is reproduced with a sharp eye for detail. In front of the building commercial goods are hoisted up from carts and a number of ships for transport to the weigh-house. Several other ships had moored and now continue to their destination. A boat flying the Dutch flag brings in a prominent party while a herald standing precariously at the bow trumpets for right of way. We know of several other wall prints by Schenk depicting local situations with almost photographic detail. Thanks to this detail important socio-historical aspects have been passed on to later generations giving these prints an important cultural meaning today.

A FINE LITHOGRAPHED MEDINA Medina al-Munawwara ali sâhibhâ afzal al-tahiyya. It shows Medina city with its building and walls besides its environment. Medina is the capital of the Al-Madinah Region in Saudi Arabia. At the city's heart is al-Masjid an-Nabawi 'The Prophet's Mosque' which is the burial place of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. Medina is one of the three holiest cities in Islam the other two being Mecca and Jerusalem. Medina was Muhammad's destination in his Hijrah migration from Makkah and became the capital of a rapidly increasing Muslim Empire under Muhammad's leadership serving as the power base of Islam and where Muhammad's Ummah Community composed of both locals and immigrants from Muhammad's original home of Mecca developed. Medina is home to three prominent mosques namely al-Masjid an-Nabawi Quba Mosque and Masjid al-Qiblatayn 'The mosque of the two Qiblas'. Muslims believe that the chronologically final surahs of the Quran were revealed to Muhammad in Medina and are called Medinan surahs in contrast to the earlier Meccan surahs. N. p.
