View of Tangier (original title), print, The city of Tangier, situated on a hill in northern Morocco., printmaker: Wijnand Otto Jan Nieuwenkamp (signed by artist), 1896, paper, etching, intaglio printmaking technique, etching with plate tone on copper, height 139 mm x width 199 mm, city-view in general, 'veduta', low hill country, North Africa, Tangier, A wide sepia-toned sketch of a hillside town by a body of water, with closely clustered rectangular buildings and flat roofs rising up the slope toward a fortified area at the crest, delineated by heavier lines and shaded masses. The foreground shows calm water with faint horizontal strokes and a low waterfront wall with three large rounded arches and small boats moored nearby. Terraced structures, narrow openings, and simple architectural forms fill the midsection, interspersed with areas of darker cross-hatching that suggest shadowed alleys and slopes. The hill to the left features swirling linear shading that follows its contours, while the right side has denser, vertically oriented hatching on a steep incline. The sky above is largely empty except for subtle horizontal texture and a light, clouded shape near the left horizon.
