De gasfabriek van de Amsterdamsche Pijp-gaz Compagnie aan de Schans

Between 1829 and 1887, the APGC factory stood on the Schans, later renamed Marnixstraat, level with Elandstraat. Pelgrom used his imaginary high vantage point to focus attention on the gas factory on the former Nieuwerkerk bulwark. The modernity of the gas factory is further emphasized by the nine windmills, symbols of a bygone age, which are included in the view.
