This 1771 engraving by Caspar Jacobsz. Philips depicts the "Wapen van Amsterdam", a lodging house located on the Groenmarkt in Amsterdam. This detailed prospectus drawing, which measures 196 mm in height and 143 mm in width, was likely intended to advertise the lodging house to potential travelers. It is a fine example of 18th-century graphic art in the Netherlands. The drawing is now part of the collection at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
