R. Vinkeles, the bookshop of Hermanus de Wit in Amsterdam, 1763 Vinkeles, R. (illustrator) year: 1763 type: titelblad title page detail: nee dimensions: 14,5 x 11 cm. related terms: boekhandels boekhandelaars boekbinden period: 18e eeuw classification: G: Boekhandel en uitgeverij F: Bindkunst contents: The interior of the bookseller Hermanus de Wit, situated at the corner of Molsteeg and Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal, represented by the well-known draughtsman/engraver Reinier Vinkeles (1741-1816). It is one of the rare contemporary representations of bookshops in the Netherlands. Comparison with older pictures shows that the interiors of the 18th century did not differ a lot from those in the previous century. On the shelves are mostly bound books (on older pictures we see more often piles of unbound books), but to the left, as in the 17th century, someone is binding a book. origineel: source: Naam-register van veele capitaale- net-geconditioneerde Nederduitsche, en eenige Latynsche en Fransche boeken [...] uit de boekwinkel van Hermanus de Wit, 3 delen. - Amsterdam: H. de Wit, [1761-1766], deel 2, titelprent available in: Koninklijke Bibliotheek, Den Haag 3079 C 2 ©description: Den Haag Koninklijke Bibliotheek ©reproduction: Den Haag Koninklijke Bibliotheek |
