= Rare view. Bierens de Haan 4840. Very lively winter scene, depicting the famous horse-drawn ice-breaker freeing the Amstel of ice so that clean water could be delivered to the breweries in the city. The view shows many people skating fearlessly in front of the icebreaker and onlookers standing on the quay. SEE ILLUSTRATION PLATE CVIII.
