No. 1., after print by Pieter Hendricksz. Schut, publisher: Johannes Meertens (possibly), Middelburg, publisher: Abraham van Someren (possibly), Amsterdam, 1696, Pieter Hendricksz. Schut, printmaker, after print by, paper, etching, height 136 mm x width 166 mm, A sepia-toned detailed engraving shows a waterfront scene with multiple sailing ships at anchor and a fortified castle-like building on the shore with ramparts and clustered rooftops. In the foreground a small rowboat carries several seated figures while two standing figures handle oars, and another small boat with people and a flag is visible near the right edge. The water is depicted with fine horizontal waves, a low shoreline with a narrow pier and tiny structures sits between the ships and the castle, and the sky is filled with closely spaced horizontal hatching lines suggesting clouds.
