Het leggen van fundering in de rivier Possibly 1677 - 1696

"Het leggen van fundering in de rivier" (laying the foundation in the river) is an etching by Cornelis Meijer, a Dutch artist working in the 17th century. This detailed print depicts two different methods of laying foundations in a river. In the upper scene, workers use a horse-drawn cart to transport large stones while in the lower scene, a man uses a boat to move a similar load. This print was likely intended as an instructional tool for those working on river constructions.
