Description |
Nederlands: Kaart van de westkust van Afrika.
Nigritarum Regio. Op het land zijn verscheidene dieren te zien; op zee varen enkele Oost-Indiëvaarders. 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. Deze afbeelding is afkomstig uit een beschrijving van Afrika. Cf. Koninklijke Bibliotheek, Den Haag, inv. nr. 1049B13_063.English: Map of the west coast of Africa.
Nigritarum Regio. Various animals are depicted on the land mass, while several East Indiamen are depicted sailing on the sea. 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 plate is taken from a description of Africa. Cf. Koninklijke Bibliotheek, The Hague, inv. nr. 1049B13_063. |
