Little is known about Dutch printmaker A. de Putter and few examples of his work are known. He was working as an engraver in Amsterdam during the first half of the 18th century. In addition to his engraving ‘Prospect of the Cathedral Church of St Paul's, London’, he engraved a ‘View of the Town Hall in Amsterdam’ (1719), ‘Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem‘(c.1738) and illustrations to the writings of the French Benedictine Antoine Augustin Calmet (1672-1757) and the French polymath Louis Bourguet (1678-1742).
