Antique Print of Marriage Ceremonies in Amsterdam, the Netherlands

Two images on one plate. The first image shows two fiancees going to Church to get married. A horse with carriage and dogs are depicted. The second image shows a marriage ceremony taking place in the Reformed Church in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

This print originates from 'Naaukeurige beschryving der godtsdienst-plichten, kerk-zeden en gewoontens van alle volkeren der waereldt.', a Dutch edition or its French edition 'Ceremonies et coutumes Religieuses...' , by A. Moubach, 1727-1738 (French edition 1721-1725). An English edition called 'Ceremonies and religious Rites of the various nations of the known world....', appeared in 1733. It was the most elaborate history of world religion published up to that time. The plates in this work were adapted by B. Picart and others from various sources including de Bry.
