Description
Nederlands: Gezicht op stad en fort Zeelandia op Taiwan.

Stadt en Casteel Zelandia op 't Eiland Taywan.

Legenda: A. Het Governeurs huys. / B. De Kerck. / C. De Waegh. / D. t Smits huys daer des Compagnies Harnassen en ander gereetschap gemaeckt wordt. / E. Het Gereght. F. Vlys Hall. / G. Marckt. / H. Gevangen Huys. / I. t Kartier. / K t Reduit. / L. t Casteel.

In de haven liggen en varen verscheidene Chinese jonken, rechts zijn drie Oost-Indiëvaarders afgebeeld.

De reis van Pieter van Hoorn naar het keizerlijk hof in China vond plaats in 1662-1663.

Dr. Olfert Dapper (1636-1689) publiceerde na 1663 een groot aantal boeken. Hij schreef een geschiedenis van de stad Amsterdam en verzorgde de eerste Nederlandse vertaling van Herodotus. Hij is echter vooral bekend vanwege zijn vele beschrijvingen van vreemde landen die hij uit verschillende bronnen samenstelde, zonder dat hij de landen waarover hij schreef ooit zag. Dit stadsgezicht op Zeelandia is afkomstig uit een beschrijving van het Chinese keizerrijk.

De uitgever van dit boek, Jacob van Meurs, was ook graveur. Het is echter niet zeker of hij ook de graveur van deze prenten was.
English: View of city and Fort Zeelandia on Taiwan.-

Stadt en Casteel Zelandia op 't Eiland Taywan.

Key: A. Het Governeurs huys. / B. De Kerck. / C. De Waegh. / D. t Smits huys daer des Compagnies Harnassen en ander gereetschap gemaeckt wordt. / E. Het Gereght. F. Vlys Hall. / G. Marckt. / H. Gevangen Huys. / I. t Kartier. / K t Reduit. / L. t Casteel.

Various Chinese junks are shown moored or sailing in the harbour, on the right hand side the East Indiamen are depicted.

Pieter van Hoorn undertook his voyage to the Chinese Imperial Court in 1662-1663.

Dr Olfert Dapper (1636-1689) published a large number of books after 1663. He wrote a history of the city of Amsterdam and furnished the first Dutch translation of Herodotus. But he is known particularly for his many descriptions of foreign lands which he compiled from various sources, without ever seeing the countries he wrote about for himself. This view of Zeelandia is taken from a description of Imperial China.

The publisher of this volume, Jacob van Meurs, was also an engraver. However it is not certain whether he was the engraver of these prints.
