EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured engraving, titled "Douai, 1649" captures the historical essence of this Belgian city. Created by Joan Blaeu in the 17th century, it offers a glimpse into Douai's rich past. The print is part of the Stapleton Collection and showcases Douai as it appeared during that time. The image portrays a fortified town with sturdy walls and ramparts surrounding its perimeter. The river flowing through the city adds to its charm and strategic importance. As you explore further, you notice an intricate network of canals crisscrossing the streets, enhancing both its functionality and aesthetic appeal. The houses are neatly lined along these canals, creating a picturesque cityscape that reflects European architectural influences prevalent at that time. Each building tells a story of Dutch heritage and contributes to the overall character of Douai. Notably, the coat of arms displayed proudly on one of the buildings symbolizes civic pride and unity within this vibrant community. It serves as a reminder of Douai's historical significance as well as its connection to other cities in Holland and Belgium. This engraving provides us with valuable insights into how Douai looked centuries ago—a testament to our ever-evolving world while preserving our cultural heritage for future generations to appreciate.
