Beautiful collection of 68 hand-coloured engraved plates and aquatints, published by Evert Maaskamp (1769-1834), and etched and engraved by Van der Meulen, Maaskamp, and others. The collection, issued as the Tableau des principales vues, contains several series of plates, some of which were published by Maaskamp before. Some plates originate from Maaskamp's Nouvelle statistique historique d'Amsterdam (Amsterdam, 1812; Landwehr, Col. plates, 365), of which 11 of the 12 plates are present in our copy. Another series is one by G. Johnson, namely Karakterschetsen, zeden en gewoonten van Nederlandsche mannen en vrouwen (Amsterdam, E. Maaskamp, 1816; Landwehr, Col. plates, 323), of which all 9 plates are present in our copy. At least 5 other series of plates seem to be included. Some plates have captions in manuscript, which suggests that these were proofs before the captions were added. Others contain beneath the printed Dutch captions a French manuscript caption.The index-leaf begins with the title and address of the publisher, no further text is present. The index lists 64 plates; plates 14, 19, 27, and 50 as called for in the index (= 4 plates) are lacking in our copy. Landwehr mentions 8 extra plates, not listed in this index, numbered 2bis, 25bis, 26bis, 51bis, 65, 66, (and again) 66; 7 of these plates are present in our copy, only pl. 51bis (Village de Nieuwendam) is lacking. One plate (pl. 67 in our copy, with a panorama and profile of the canal from Amsterdam to Den Helder - the 'Noordhollands kanaal') is extra added and not listed by Landwehr. This plate is cut from the 'Kaart van het Kanaal' and mounted. In manuscript the title and the date ("16 December 1824"), identifications of the church towers and the names of the two ships are added.For a more detailed list, enumerating all the different plates and the series of which they were drawn from, please send us an inquiry.With an owner's inscription on the first endleaf: "Lt.Col. Nahuys to his dear friend Miss Ellen Hodges. Amsterdam 20 November 1825". This is Hubert Gerard Baron Nahuys van Burgst (1782-1858), brother-in-law of Rutger Jan Schimmelpenninck, who fought at the battle of Waterloo and then departed for the Dutch East Indies as lieutenant-colonel, where he was appointed resident of Djocjakarta. After his return to the Netherlands in 1823, he married for the second time in 1824. His second wife died in August 1825. On 20 November 1825 he presented our copy to Ellen Hodges and he would marry her in the next year in London on 28 December 1826. Another hand added: "Aan mijn dierbare achterneef en naamgenoot Catharinus Bissink, ter herinnering aan zijne liefh. oud-tante Kitty Babut du Mares Nahuys v. Burgst". This is Catharine Nahuys van Burgst who had married Jules Babut, seigneur du Mares (1827-1895). Binding worn around the edges, especially around the spine, but the text and plates are in very good condition.l Cat. Rijksmuseum III, p. 222 (74 plates); Landwehr, Coloured Plates 452 (64+8 plates); Muller, Historieplaten 6216 (74 plates).
