View of the cotton tree belonging to Mr. David Veryon, outside the Weesper Gate, View of David Veryon's cotton printing factory on the Weesperzijde, print, c. 1730 - c. 1780, printmaker, paper, etching, height 130 mm x width 182 mm, cotton (material, textile industry), Amsterdam, Weesperzijde, A sepia-toned engraving shows a riverside scene with tall clouds in the sky above a row of large brick buildings with tiled roofs and multiple chimneys; one prominent building has decorative window surrounds and a central doorway, while adjacent structures feature many tall windows and dormers. Along the water, small sailboats and rowboats are moored, with figures on and near the boats handling barrels and ropes. On the quay a horse-drawn cart covered with a bundle is being led, and several people walk or stand in groups near the water’s edge and in front of the buildings. Trees rise behind a smaller riverside shed, and fine parallel lines and crosshatching create shading throughout the image.
