Public Notes:

A view on Amsterdam's bastions near the Leiden gate. On the left the "bolwerk Oostdorp" is depicted, with the large Hartsoeker telescope at the edge of the view. Engraving states "J[an] Goeree ad vivum delineato 1690," but this date must be a misprint for 1698, the year in which Hartsoeker settled in Amsterdam. From p. 93 of Willink's Amsterdamsche buitensingel.
