A beautiful, atmospheric, and historically very interesting original hand-printed etching of the Ossenspooksteeg seen from the Kattengat in Amsterdam, created by the well-known Dutch artist and printmaker Willem Wenckebach (1860–1937).
Unique details (Conversation piece for collectors): This specific copy is unique compared to known reproductions on the internet for two reasons:
Rare mirror printing error: In the lower left corner, just above the walking man, Wenckebach scratched the house number onto the etching plate. In doing so, he forgot to reverse the number, resulting in a very unique '2x' printed in mirror writing on this authentic etching. On regular reproductions, only a normal '2' appears here. This is the ultimate proof of an authentic, artisanal handprint from the original copper plate.
Specific cutout: The work has been framed more tightly by the artist himself using a hand-drawn black pen line, causing the Round Lutheran Church (which is visible on wider reproductions) to fall outside the frame and placing the pure focus on the medieval stepped gables.
Original frame (Purveyor to the Royal Household): The etching is still in its original, antique wooden frame with a mat. On the back is the original label of the highly renowned Amsterdam frame maker H. Gonkel Jr. (Kerkstraat 217). Gonkel was an official supplier to top institutions such as the Rijksmuseum and the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, which testifies to the museum-quality of the framing.
Condition and dimensions: The work (25.0 cm (Height) x 20.5 cm (Width)) is in beautiful, authentic antique condition. In the upper right corner of the paper, a small, characteristic tear or sign of age is visible, which contributes to the historical character of this artwork, which is over 115 years old. A beautiful possession for the lover of Amsterdam history, topography, or antique graphic art!
