View of Vlissingen, 1743, The city of Vlissingen seen from the sea, print, book illustration, printmaker: Jan Caspar Philips, Amsterdam, after drawing by Cornelis Pronk, publisher: Isaak Tirion, grantor of privilege: States of Holland and West Friesland, 1753, paper, etching, height 173 mm x width 411 mm, A wide horizontal engraving shows a waterfront scene with a large sailing ship anchored in the foreground, its tall masts, rigging, and furled sails rendered in fine lines and reflected in the calm water below. Smaller boats with rowers surround the larger vessel. Behind the ship, a low townscape stretches along the shoreline, composed of clustered buildings with pitched roofs, chimneys, and a prominent church tower rising above the other structures. Wooden piers and breakwaters extend into the water at intervals along the shore. Windmills are visible near the edges of the town. The sky is filled with layered, textured clouds, and the whole image is framed by a decorative border.
