BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Based on original 1655 engraving by Abelin Gotfried; Naaukeurige Versameling der Gedenk-waardigste Zee en Land-reysen, na Oost en West-Indien’, (transl.: Accurate accounts of memorable sea and land-voyages, to the East and West Indies.), published by Pieter van der Aa, Leiden 1706-1708. Pieter van der Aa (1659-1733) was a Dutch publisher best known for preparing maps and atlases, though he also printed pirated editions of foreign bestsellers and illustrated volumes. He also printed many maps that were often out of print, which he reissued.
