Beautiful and very finely engraved view of The Hague seen from the direction of the Vijverberg over the Hofvijver, with the Binnenhof on the left and the Voorhout on the right. In the background, the city center. In the foreground, a procession of the militia. It is derived from a painting in the Hague City Hall and depicts the city in the year 1553.

Engraved by J. van Giessen.

The plate comes from: 'Description of The Hague,' by Mr. Jacob Riemer (1676-1762), published in Delft by Reinier Boitet, 1730.

The book contains many beautiful engravings of important buildings, churches, monasteries, estates, and castles of The Hague.

The plates are engraved by Gerrit van Giesen (1692-1750), Jan Caspar Phillips (1700-1765), and F. v. Bleyswyck. Published by Reinier Boitet (1680-1750).
