Without knowing something about the background of "who made it" and trying to understand what the artist saw it's just glancing at pictures.

Emma Bormann's visit to the Netherlands was in October 1920. She apparently spent most of this month in Groningen, one week in The Hague, and one day each in Rotterdam, Leiden, and Delft (according to an account by art historian Arpad Weixlgaertner, published in 1922 in "Die Graphischen Kuenste" by the Gesellschaft fuer vervielfaeltigende Kunst). She exhibited some works in Groningen in February 1921 with the art association Pictura. She made a woodcut of the Pepergasthuis as well, and of the Oosterhaven. The reason for the incorrect title for the Noorderhaven print is due, I believe, to Emma Bormann's working method. She made quick sketches on the spot and then, when she went home, worked these into woodcuts or linocuts. So she may not have noted on her sketches where she was standing, and later have remembered the Noorderhaven incorrectly as the Lage der A.Andreasnoreply@blogger.com
