A very nice and historically interesting drawing by Caspar Jacobsz. Philips (1732-1789), the well known Amsterdam draughtsman, engraver and etcher, art historian, author and publisher, together with two engravings. Although the two prints do not mention the name of Caspar Philips as inventor, they probably were made after the drawing described above (or an earlier version of it) and its pendant in the Amsterdam city archives. Very fine copies, all under passe-partouts. Cf. Muller, historieplaten 4224a and 4227b.
