"Gezichten op de waterwegen naar Haarlem" (1763) by Hendrik Spilman is a detailed engraving that showcases three different tollbooths located along waterways leading to Haarlem. This artwork, which is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a quintessential example of 18th-century Dutch topographical art. Spilman’s meticulous depiction of the structures and their surroundings, including figures and trees, captures the bustling atmosphere of the tollbooths as they regulated the movement of goods and people along these important trade routes.
