| Description |
Nederlands: Gezicht op de Westafrikaanse kust van Elmina tot Mouri en aanzicht van kasteel St. George te Elmina.
Prospect of the Coast from El Mina to Mowri. Prospect of St. Georges Castle at El Mina. Cf. Koninklijke Bibliotheek, Den Haag, inv. nr. 693 C 5 dl III, to. p. 497 en 693 C 5 dl III, to. p. 461 en 61 B 25, na p. 156. Rechtsonder: Vol. 2. plate 61. p. 589. Linksonder: No. 69. Manfro is de naam van de heuvel waar het fort bij Pocquesoe 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. Gezien de ligging op de onderste afbeelding tusen Cabo Cors en Mouree, is het waarschijnlijk dat met 'Manfroe' het Deense fort Frederiksborg bij Cabo Cors bedoeld wordt. Dat wordt, evenals het Pruissische fort bij Pocquesoe met de naam 'Koningsfort' aangeduid.English: View of the West African coast from Elmina to Mouri and a view of the castle of St. George at Elmina.
Prospect of the Coast from El Mina to Mowri. Prospect of St. Georges Castle at El Mina. Cf. Koninklijke Bibliotheek, The Hague, inv. nr. 693 C 5 dl III, opp. p. 497 and 693 C 5 dl III, opp. p. 461 and 61 B 25, after p. 156. Bottom right: Vol. 2. plate 61. p. 589. Bottom left: No. 69. Manfro is the name of the hill on which the fort at Pocquesoe was situated. From 1683 to 1717 it was the only Prussian fort in Ghana. In 1725 it fell to the WIC and was renamed Fort Hollandia. In view of the situation as depicted in the bottom print between Cabo Cors and Mouree, it is likely that 'Manfroe' refers to the Danish fort of Frederiksborg at Cabo Cors. Just like the Prussian fort at Pocquesoe, it was referred to by the name 'Koningsfort'. |
