VANDER AA, P. - Waere affbeeldinge wegens het casteel ende stadt Batavia.

A good impression of this finely engraved and detailed plan of Batavia, present-day Jakarta, the Dutch center of trading activities in the East Indies. Copied after Clement de Jonghe's map on a smaller scale, with one major alteration: the coastline in front of the fortress as curving inwards. the river had silted up here, so that the coast came to lie some distance from the castle. European and native ships are shown in the sea, while the Dutch lion stands proudly above the schematically planned city.
