{"product_id":"framed-trio-of-dutch-historical-73944","title":"Framed Trio of Dutch Historical Engravings — Wolfert van Borselen \u0026 VOC Founding Scene","description":"\u003cp\u003eLook closely at the middle print and a name resolves out of the linework: Wolfert van Borselen, a fifteenth-century stadtholder of Holland and Zeeland who also held the title of Admiral of the Netherlands — not an invented classical figure standing in for \"old and important,\" but a specific nobleman whose actual history the engraver was recording. The third print carries its own caption, \"DE OOST IND. COMP: OPGERICHT,\" marking the founding of the Dutch East India Company in 1602, complete with ships and a globe worked into the scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is what separates a genuine historical engraving set from generic decorative prints: the plate numbering still visible in the margin, the specific captioning under each portrait, the fact that someone chose these three subjects deliberately rather than picking interchangeable stock imagery. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhoever assembled this trio was building a small, coherent slice of Dutch history — a nobleman, a portrait study, and a defining national event — rather than three unrelated pretty pictures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe set has been kept together in its current frame since being assembled in the 1970s, mounted on a wide cream mat within a single dark wood frame with visible grain. The mat shows the light, even toning expected of paper under glass over decades rather than anything that competes with the linework itself. At 36 by 19 cm, it reads best in a narrow horizontal space — above a console, along a stairway, or as one element in a gallery wall rather than a lone anchor piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt arrives professionally packed and fully insured — we handle the paperwork and worldwide shipping.
