This print of Manhattan on the Maas features more than 150 architectural marvels. Of course, every Rotterdammer immediately recognizes the Erasmus Bridge, Willemsbrug and the Hef from this extreme perspective. But after looking a little longer, you might see the Cube Houses, the Market Hall, the Zalmhaven Tower, the Euromast, Hotel New York and the Kuip?
The five-point perspective emphasizes the vertical lines of the port city. Moreover, the busy ports of the Maasvlakte can be recognized on the horizon. Of course, Central Station, City Hall, Coolsingel, the Maastunnel, Kop van Zuid, SS Rotterdam, Ahoy, the new Luxor, the library and the Boijmans van Beuningen museum should not be missing. And did you already see The Destroyed City, Erasmus and Gnome Buttplug?
This drawing is very suitable for waiting rooms, receptions, meeting rooms and counters of hotels, hospitals and conference centers. It arouses curiosity, creates a first chat and manages to captivate people for longer than 1 minute. Ideal for a place where foreign guests congregate!
