Gezicht op Delft en De Lier Postkaart (serietitel) View of the north side of the river with the background Delft and the Lier. Manufacturer : printmaker: Joost van Geel to own design: Joost van Geel Publisher: Jacob Quack (possible) Publisher: Jan Houwens (I) is (possibly) supervision: Jacob Quack Place manufacture: Rotterdam Dated: in or after 1666 Physical characteristics: engra and etching material: paper Technique: etching / engra (printing process) Measurements: plate edge: h 150 mm × W 420 mmToelichtingDeze print was originally intended as a part of the so-called Postcard from 1666. Although the year 1665 in the cartouche of the map, seen from archival research that the map was completed only in 1666 (See documentation). This card consists of (from top to bottom): - (printed first state of two plates, plates were then halved Where: by second state is printed from four plates) a face on the west side of the Meuse; - a map of the Maas estuary (printed from four plates) with left and right five prints relating to the postal service (probably printed ten sheets, possibly earlier pushed lower plates cut later); - a view of the north side of the river Maas (first is printed on two sheets, plates were then cut in half allowing second condition is printed from four plates); - (possibly) an explanation of the card printing. This map was originally published by Jacob Quack. After he died, the card (and / or component parts thereof) probably issued several times in 1668. Of the three editions of the map of the Maas estuary are certainly known - published by Jacob Quack (his name remains on later editions), 1666; - published by John Houwens (I), probably in 1698 or perhaps even earlier; - an anonymous publication, published after the publication of Jan Houwens (I) (his name is on the card section visible erased) in or after 1698.
