Framed Print of The Scheldt Emancipation Monument, Antwerp, 1883. Creator: Unknown
The Scheldt Emancipation Monument, Antwerp, 1883. The commercial port and city of Antwerp owes a great recent increase of prosperity to the diplomatic arrangement of 1863, by which the navigation of the Scheldt was finally delivered from injurious political and fiscal restrictions first imposed by the Treaty of Westphalia in 1648...The British Government...lent its cordial and effectual assistance to obtain a satisfactory settlement of this international question...The grateful citizens of Antwerp have erected...a fine marble monument...to commemorate the emancipation of the port in 1863...The sculptor of the monument is M. Winders...On the summit is the River-god, Schaldis (the ancient classical name of the Scheldt) leaning upon his trident as he [tramples] under-foot a paper supposed to be the European Treaty of 1648. His left hand rests caressingly on the shoulder of a female figure, the City of Antwerp, holding a palm-branch and fondly inclining towards him; while the Genius of Commerce, on the other side, attired like "the herald Mercury, " waits in readiness...Two rostra of ancient galleys...signify its maritime import. In front, ...Fame is seen inscribing a record of the event...The base is adorned with broken chains and flowing waves'. From "Illustrated London News", 1883.
