View of Huis ter Nieuburch in Rijswijk (Voormalige Huis ter Nieuburch (Nieuwburg) in Rijswijk), seen from the North-East. In 1697, in this palace was signed the Treaty of Rijswijk. Neglected for a long time, the palace was destroyed in 1789.

Titled above on a ribbon: ‘RYSWYCK’.

Within the framing engraving is the dedication: ‘All’Illustrissimo, & Eccellentissimo S. PIETRO GARZONI, Savio Grande, Storiografo Pibblico.’ It refers to the Venetian Pietro Garzoni (1645-1735) who published a History of Venice and actively participated to the political life in Venice.

The central impression is a copy after the 1681 etching by Cornelis Elandts (1641-1687) designed to be on the margin of a large map of The Hague from 1681-1682. See the Rijksmuseum copy with bibliographic indications: RP-P-OB-76.677. This copy was probably used as plate in an unknown publication as on the top left corner is inscribed: ‘II, 13a’; on the top right corner, in pen and ink is the number ‘131.’
