Nederlands: Aanzichten van de forten Amsterdam te Cormantijn en fort Groot Frederiksborg te Princes Town.

Fort Hollandois de Cormantin nommé Amsterdam, tiré de Barbot.

Fort Royal de Manfro, tiré de Barbot.

Rechtsonder: No. II.

Rechtsboven: No. III.

De afbeelding komt overeen met Koninklijke Bibliotheek, 693 C 6, dl IV, to. p. 404.

Manfro is de naam van de heuvel waar het fort op stond. Het was van 1683 tot 1717 het enige Pruissische fort in Ghana. In 1725 kwam het in handen van de WIC en werd het omgedoopt tot fort Hollandia.

Het kan zijn dat het het Deense fort Frederiksborg bij Cabo Cors betreft. Ook dat wordt wel met de naam 'Koningsfort' aangeduid.

The image corresponds with that of Koninklijke Bibliotheek, 693 C 6, part IV, opp. p. 404.

Manfro is the name of the hill on which the fort was situated. From 1683 to 1717 it was the only Prussian fort in Ghana. In 1725 it fell into the hands of the WIC (Dutch West India Company) and was renamed Fort Hollandia.

It could be that the Danish fort of Frederiksborg near Cabo Cors is depicted here. This too was referred to by the name 'Koningsfort'.
