Amsterdam the City of Wealth and Waterways
A historical portrait of seventeenth century Amsterdam, its rise as Europe’s wealthiest city, the birth of banking and bank notes, and the spider web plan of canals and dykes. It notes the Dam, Nieuwe Kerk, Rembrandt artworks, Huguenot settlement, and maritime growth aided by the Dutch East India Company and the Westphalia treaty, with nearby trips to Zaandam and Marken.
