"Poort in de stadsmuur van Sint-Laureins in Antwerpen" is a 1868 etching by Jean Théodore Joseph Linnig depicting a gate in the city wall of Sint-Laureins in Antwerp, Belgium. The etching, measuring 161 mm in height and 127 mm in width, shows the gate in a state of partial ruin, with a view of the city beyond. The Latin inscription "Semper Vigiles" translates to "Always Vigilant," which hints at the historical significance of the gate as a point of defense.
