笔记

Large view of the Nieumarkt and the Waag.

The Nieuwmarkt is dominated by a building known as the Waag, originally a gate in the Medieval city walls but converted into a weighing house after the walls were demolished in the seventeenth century. The square was created when the canals around the Waag were filled in 1614, and was used as a marketplace.

Leonard Schenk (fl.1720-1746) worked as an engraver and publisher in Amsterdam.
