A Village Street Scene on Marken Island, Holland -1925 Page of History

Description: British Parliament 1925 Vintage Lithograph A Village Street Scene on Marken Island, Holland A 1925 Page of History with highly detailed illustrations often depicting scenes of people, places and things that may no longer exist Related/Unrelated text on Reverse Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE Most of Marken's houses are built on stilts (although they are no longer visible) because the tiny island used to flood so often. One of the Netherlands' most traditional fishing communities is Marken. This time-passed hamlet in a bottle — once virtually abandoned — has been kept alive as a tourist attraction. It's quiet, perfectly quaint, and well-preserved, but not annoyingly crowded. This island town once had a harbor for whaling and herring fishing, but when the Zuiderzee began to silt up in the late 17th century, it became more and more difficult to eke out a living here. Centuries later, when the Zuiderzee was diked off, Marken became a virtual ghost town. But in 1957, engineers built a long causeway from the mainland to the island hamlet, which allowed easy access for visitors to marvel at its cuteness. ----- Published in 1925 by Ira R.

Prior to this, virtually all prints (and engravings) were produced as illustrations to be included in a manuscript, book, newspaper, or pamphlet. Therefore, a vast majority of original prints have been over the years removed from these original sources. Prints are produced using many different techniques: relief printing (woodcut & wood engraving), intaglio printing (steel & copper plate engraving, drypoint, aquatint, etc), and planographic printing (lithography, serigraphy, inkjet, laser, etc.). While the commercial value of a print depends on such factors as age, rarity, and condition, the real value of a print is its tie to its history and/or its esthetic beauty.
