 Framed engraving titled and credited in both French and Dutch, of the German synagogue in Amsterdam, by Fouquet, c. 1760.  View of the German Jewish synagogue in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, from a series of etchings of landmark buildings in that city produced by Pierre Fouquet Jr. from the 1760s to the 1780s. Including a lively street scene, with pedestrians, merchants and animals, this print shows 'the synagogue of the German Jews', actually known as the New Synagogue, built by Ashkenazi Jews in the mid 18th century. The Holocaust left the Ashkenazi buildings with no congregations, and it is now the home of the Jewish Historical Museum of Amsterdam (sold)
