I received this copper engraving in my student days from my neighbors below, a couple who ran an art dealership on the Overtoom, where I lived on the 3rd floor behind at the time. On the back it says that the engraving is by Wagenaar (dated around 1750). By googling I found out that Jan Wagenaar was an 18th century historian who wrote thirteen works on Dutch history between 1762 and 1769. These books were illustrated by copper engravings by Jacob Houbraken, so I assume the engraving is by his hand. It is a hand-colored engraving of a cityscape of the Waag with nice details. The frame has a few minor damages (scratches), otherwise the work is in good condition.
