Description: A bird's eye view of Amsterdam looking south. This is the city before the construction of the semi-circular ring of canals. It is bordered by the IJ, the Singel in the west, and the Kloveniersburgwal/Gelderse Kade in the east. The waterway in the middle (connecting the Dam with the IJ) is known as the Damrak. Ships were unloaded on the west bank of the Damrak, indicated on the map as ‘Opt Waeter’ (on the water). Woodcut by Cornelis Anthonisz. made in 1544 after an oil painting of his own making from 1538. This version is a reprint, published by Ian Iansz. around 1557.
