Description

Text engraving with explanation how the royalty and high-ranking citizens of Bali are transported about on light decorative chairs, with a shelter above to protect them from the sun and rain. The poles that support the chair are made of strong sugar-cane. The bearers are always accompanied by others who can take over from them whenever they are tired.
There are also bodyguards, with lances, arrows and other weapons, who walk in front and behind. Also following are the women who always carry Betelle-boxes and water jugs.
Above two profiles of Java and Bali.

From "Premier livre de l'histoire de la navigation aux Indes Orientales, par les hollandois, et des choses a eux advenues . . . ", being the classic account of the first Dutch voyage to the East Indies under the command of Cornelis de Houtman. the expedition left in 1595, after Holland had achieved independence from Spain and could therefore freely explore its own interests in the East.

The ships sailed across the Atlantic to Brazil, and rounded the Cape of Good Hope on 7 February 1595.

They arrived in Sumatra in May 1596 and proceeded to Java with the intention of reaching the Moluccas. The ships were un-seaworthy, however, and troubles arouse between captains and crew. Finally reaching an accord, they sailed to Bali and returned to Texel in August 1597, with only eighty-nine of the crew left alive. Because of the increased price of pepper, the voyage was able to turn a profit, despite returning with a small cargo.

Color Key
We offer many maps in their original black and white condition. We do not systematically color-up maps to make them more sellable to the general public or buyer.
Copper engraved or wood block maps are always hand colored. Maps were initially colored for aesthetic reasons and to improve readability. Nowadays, it is becoming a challenge to find maps in their original colors and are therefor more valuable.
We use the following color keys in our catalog:
Original colors; mean that the colors have been applied around the time the map was issued.
Original o/l colors; means the map has only the borders colored at the time of publication.
Colored; If the colors are applied recently or at the end of the 20th century.
