This is a view of the Amsterdam harbour from the inlet known as the IJ. The harbour is depicted as bustling with activities with a variety of shipping vessels dominated by a large merchant vessel in the foreground. The profile of the city is visible in the background, with a detailed legend below identifying major buildings. The print was produced by Hendrik de Leth, and published by Johannes Covens and Cornelis Mortier.
