The painter and draftsman Bernard Bueninck settled in 1894 from Vorden in Groningen, where he became an art teacher at the municipal HBS. In addition to his free work – landscapes, portraits, harbour views – in the following years he also became known for the plates he painted for geography education: mostly panoramic landscapes, river and harbour views portrayed from a bird's eye view. Between 1900 and 1925 he worked for the Groningen publishing house J.B. Wolters, participating in the famous wall plate series The Netherlands in words and images.
