Vignet van Frans Houttuyn te Amsterdam en een vignet met een schip 18th century

This 18th-century anonymous print from the Rijksmuseum features two vignettes. The first is an ornate depiction of the city of Amsterdam, possibly a view from the river. The second depicts a ship sailing across the water. The intricate detail and craftsmanship of the vignettes suggest that this artwork was likely intended as a decorative element for a book or other publication. It is likely a wood engraving or etching, a common printing technique of the 18th century.
