A composite lithograph of rural Belgian scenes.
A vignette-style composition centered on a ruined Gothic chapel archway near Antwerp. Surrounding the center are smaller vignettes depicting local daily life: peasants working, horses drinking at a trough, and a unique stilt-house fishing structure.
Belgian rural life, Gothic ruins, genre scenes.
Highly significant for print history due to the presence of the blind stamp (embossing) “BELGIQUE – CONVENTION DU 22 AOUT 1852 – FRANCE”. This marks compliance with one of the first international copyright treaties, designed to stop intellectual piracy between Belgium and France.
