EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "View of the western harbor chief of Schiedam Het Schiedamsche hooft" takes us back to Rotterdam in 1797. The image showcases a bustling scene at the port, with a magnificent ship gracefully entering its waters. In the foreground, we see a small fishing boat and several sailing ships, adding to the maritime atmosphere. Numbered in the bottom right corner as number 5, this print is part of a series featuring various faces of Ms (possibly referring to different types of vessels). The artist behind this masterpiece is Gerrit Groenewegen, whose name is mentioned on the object itself. Measuring approximately 185mm in height and 274mm in width, this etching on paper transports us to an era when harbors were vibrant hubs of activity. The attention to detail captured by Groenewegen allows viewers to immerse themselves fully into this historical moment. The significance of Schiedam cannot be overlooked either; it was known for its thriving shipping industry during that time. This particular view highlights both the beauty and importance of its western harbor chief - Het Schiedamsche hooft. As part of a series comprising six prints depicting various aspects related to Maas (the river), including rowing boats, canoes, fishermen, and sailing ships among others, this artwork offers an intriguing glimpse into maritime life centuries ago.
