This wonderful old map of Amsterdam was originally published in 1766. It was created by Frederik Willem Greebe.
This old map of Amsterdam, created by Frederik Willem Greebe in 1766, provides a fascinating glimpse into the city's past. The map features several historical landmarks, including the Dam Square, which was the site of many key events in Amsterdam's history. For example, in 1652, the square was the location of a violent clash between the city's authorities and a group of Calvinists who were protesting against the government's decision to allow the practice of Catholicism.
At the time the map was created, Amsterdam was a thriving trading city, and its port was one of the busiest in the world. The city was also known for its vibrant cultural scene, with many famous artists and writers calling Amsterdam home. Today, Amsterdam is still a popular tourist destination, known for its beautiful canals, historic architecture, and lively nightlife. The city is also a hub for business and innovation, with many tech startups and creative industries based in the city.
This map looks great at all sizes: 12x16in (30.5x41cm), 18x24in (45.5x61cm), 16x20in (40.5x51cm), 24x36in (61x91.5cm), 30x40in (76x101.5cm), 37x50in (94x127cm), 45x60in (114x152.5cm) and 52x70in (132x178cm), but
it looks even better when printed large.
I can create beautiful, large prints of this map up to 110in (280cm). Please get in touch if you're looking for
larger, customised or different framing options.

This would make a wonderful birthday, Christmas, Father's Day, work leaving or housewarming gift for someone interested in Amsterdam or someone who loves the Netherlands.
This map is available as a giclée print on acid free archival matte paper, or you can buy it framed. The frame is a nice, simple black frame that suits most aesthetics. Please get in touch if you'd like a different frame colour or material. My frames are glazed with super-clear museum-grade acrylic (perspex/acrylite), which is significantly less reflective than glass, safer, and will always arrive in perfect condition.
