Lutheraans weeshuis te Amsterdam 1788

This 1788 print by Joseph-Alexandre Le Campion depicts the Lutheran Orphanage in Amsterdam. The print, housed at the Rijksmuseum, showcases the orphanage's exterior, a grand building with a central clock tower and rows of windows. The circular frame and detailed architectural rendering highlight the importance of this institution, a testament to 18th-century Dutch civic life and the commitment to caring for orphans. The print's small size and simple design suggest its function as a document or illustration, perhaps part of a larger series showcasing Amsterdam's institutions.
