A copperplate engraving depicting a view of the village of Heemskerk. The focal point is a large church with a tall, slender spire and arched windows, surrounded by rows of tall, thin trees. To the left are several smaller village houses. In the foreground, a figure on horseback and other pedestrians are seen on a road or path. The sky is filled with soft, billowy clouds.
A copperplate engraving of Marquette House. The image shows a stately manor or castle with a central gatehouse and a high-roofed tower. The building is partially enclosed by walls. In the foreground, a horse-drawn carriage and several elegantly dressed figures are positioned in a wide courtyard or driveway. Rows of trees stand within the courtyard, and the entire scene is rendered with fine architectural detail.
