Antique Map of Amsterdam (1800) — John Stockdale

A beautifully engraved plan of Amsterdam, published in 1800 by John Stockdale, Piccadilly, London. This elegant copperplate engraving presents Amsterdam at the dawn of the 19th century, during its continued prominence as one of Europe’s most vital ports and cultural centers.

The map traces the city’s iconic canal network, radiating outward from the medieval core in a perfect semicircle, surrounded by bastioned fortifications. Major landmarks are numbered and referenced, including churches, markets, synagogues, and the Harbour for Men-of-War, the Dutch East India Company docks, and the Nieuwe Vaart.

The decorative cartouche, featuring sailors and a merchant beside the harbor, reflects Amsterdam’s maritime identity, while fine hand-coloring distinguishes the city’s districts and waterways. Published for the English audience at a time when trade and exploration linked London and Amsterdam more closely than ever, this plan captures both the precision of Enlightenment cartography and the charm of Dutch Golden Age urban design.

A rare and historically rich depiction of Amsterdam, perfect for collectors of European city plans, Dutch cartography, and early modern maritime history.
