Afbeelding van de Haarlemmer-Poort / Afbeelding van de Zaag-Moolens Poort: Met de klok-gietery, in het verschiet 1761 - 1804

This 18th-century engraving by Erven de Weduwe Jacobus van Egmont depicts two notable structures in Amsterdam: the Haarlemmerpoort (Haarlem Gate) and the Zaag-Moolens Poort (Saw Mill Gate). The top half of the image features the Haarlemmerpoort, a fortified gateway that was once a crucial point of entry into the city. The lower half of the artwork features the Zaag-Moolens Poort, which was also a fortified gateway, known for the nearby sawmill and bell foundry, which is visible in the distance. The image offers a glimpse into the urban landscape of Amsterdam during the 18th century, highlighting the city's fortifications and industrial activities. The detailed rendering of the buildings and their surroundings, along with the inscription below each image, provides valuable historical context.
