Description
Nederlands: Gezicht op het fort El Mina in Portugees bezit.

Casteel Del Mina ten tyde der Portugesen.

El Mina kwam in 1637 in Nederlands bezit, voordien was het anderhalve eeuw in handen van de Portugezen geweest.

Hoewel de afbeelding de Portugese periode verbeeldt, liggen er enkele Nederlandse Oost-Indiëvaarders voor anker.

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.
English: View of the fort of El Mina in Portuguese hands.

Casteel Del Mina ten tyde der Portugesen.

El Mina fell into Dutch hands in 1637 after having been held by the Portuguese for one and a half centuries.

Although the plate is said to depict the Portuguese time, several Dutch East Indiamen are shown lying at anchor.

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.
