Prospect of Tangier from S. West.
W Hollar delineavit et sculp:
[Published by John Overton, 1673.]
Fine etching. 160 x 455mm (6¼ x 18"), with LVG 17th century watermark. Pinhole in image, vertical centre fold, creasing top right corner. Bit messy right margin.
A view of Tangier, with an 18-point key, one of the largest of a series of views by Wenceslaus Hollar (1607-77) showing the city when it was an English possession (1671-84). The watermark is that of Lubertus van Gerrevink, a paper mill in Egmond a/d Hoef, a major Dutch paper manufacturer in the C18th. Tangier came into English possession as part of Catherine of Braganza's dowry when she married Charles II in 1662, although attempts to develop it strategically and commercially were unsuccessful. In 1688 Hollar, in his capacity of 'Scenographus Regus', went there as part of a mission sent to deal with problems with hostile natives. Hollar made many sketches of the city (some now in the British Museum), depicting the fortifications that were demolished in 1684 when the English abandoned Tangier.
Pennington 1199, only state.
