Steptoe1, Cool. :-)

Here's the full etching:

The text in your image translated via Google Translate. GT was pretty stubborn about Huisinge, and Groote Markt, so I left them as is, but Grote Markt seems pretty recognizable as Great Market. Huisinge is probably some archaic variant of house.

Depiction of the Huisinge, formerly inhabited by the Inventor of the Noble Book Printing Art LAURENS JANSZ KOSTER in Haarlem, standing there on the Grote Markt, and whose image in the Facade (No. 2) has been commemorated forever.
