Printing Technique

This piece is a copperplate engraving, a print form that involves engraving an image onto a copper plate. The plate is then inked and pressed onto paper, transferring the image with exceptional detail and precision. The black and white palette allows the intricate textures and shadows to take centre stage.

Background

These engravings by Jacob van der Schley were published as part of Antoine François Prévost’s monumental 15-volume work, Histoire Générale des Voyages, written between 1746 and 1789. Schley, a distinguished student of the famous Picart Le Romain, was renowned for engraving sceneries for Prévost’s books. These works were produced in The Hague at Pierre de Hondt's, with the privilege of His Imperial Majesty and the Lords of Holland and West Friesland. Schley's engravings were based on the original observations and sketches by Johan Nieuhof, a 17th-century Dutch traveller whose reports on China captivated the European audience.

As Western explorers like Nieuhof reached China during the 17th century, they sent back reports that were a combination of truth, exaggeration and imagination. Although they are secondhand accounts as written by authors like Prévost, they provide a fascinating insight into the Age of Discovery.

Experience the timeless elegance and historical significance of these engravings in your own home. Order your framed engraving by Jacob van der Schley today and immerse yourself in the rich cultural heritage of the past.
