Cantabria

Antique prints of Cantabria and Santander

Four antique prints of Cantabria. Two copper engravings published by Pieter van der Aa in 1707 and 1715 show Santander and its harbour as a small fortified port. The twentieth century is represented by a signed and numbered etching of the port of Santander by Verdaguer and an etching by Eugenio Lemus of the Romanesque collegiate church of Santillana del Mar.

Early views of the Cantabrian coast are rare, and the Van der Aa plates are among the first printed images of Santander. All pieces are original unless stated otherwise, with technical details and measurements in each listing.
