Bollmann’s Amsterdam

In 1956 Hermann Bollmann made his famous panoramic map of Amsterdam. It has been reprinted many times but this art is made with a real section of the original, vintage 1956 issue. I carved individual Amsterdam canal houses, based on real examples, out of lino, and lined them up on the map to print with my etching press. I arranged them differently every time, on different sections of the map, so each handmade print is in every way unique, and there are only 20 in existence. Most are now sold, but there are still some available in my Etsy shop.
