Description
In addition to Ammann's journey, the book contains three other each with its own title page: H.J. Zeller and H. Huser's, "A new description of the island of Jamaica", (with) Felix-Christian Spori's "American travel account to the Caribbean Islands and New England" (with) Hans-Jacob Zur Eich's [i.e. W.J. Muller] "African travel journal to Fetu on the African Gold Coast."
BOUND WITH the rare, first edition’ of Albrecht Herport “Short description of India with Dutch voyages to China, Formosa, Pagan Taiwan.” Albrecht Herport’s eyewitness accounts, in particular about Dutch Formosa (Taiwan) in 1662 and Ceylon (Sri Lanka) are important. (Howgego).
Including a fine copper engraving (142 x 181mm.) of the siege of Fort Zeelandia of 1661–1662 which ended the Dutch East India Company's rule over Taiwan and began the Kingdom of Tungning's rule over the island. Taiwanese scholar Lu Chien-jung described this event as "a war that determined the fate of Taiwan in the four hundred years that followed".
The copper engraving is based on a drawing by A. Herport and the viewer is looking south from Baxemboy. The engraving has a key: Number 1 is the fortress, number 2, hardly visible up on the hill, marks the redoubt Utrecht. Number 3 is the city, number 4 is the wooden bulwark the Company forces managed to set up in November. Number 6 is Sakkam and fort Provintia, on the other side of the water. Number 8 is the exploding Hector, attacked from all sides by Chinese junks. This was probably added just for dramatic effect.
Signed in the plate : drawing by A. Herport, design by Wilhelm Stedler and engraved by Conrad Meyer.
Reference : Ilha Formosa the Emergence of Taiwan on the World of Science in the 17th century, page 96.

First edition. Rare. The landscape painter Albrecht Herport (1641-1730), who came from Bern, set out for Batavia in 1659 as a soldier in the Dutch East India Company (VOC). He sailed out in the ship Malacca to Batavia, surviving an attack by pirates on the way. His journal covered a variety of topics including indigenous people and customs, religious and pagan rituals, descriptions of wild animals and vegetation, as well as eyewitness accounts of wars between the Dutch and the East Indian locals and Chinese conquests.
His work "is particularly valuable for its highly detailed accounts of the Dutch expulsion from Formosa in 1662 among other Dutch military campaigns in Ceylon (Sri Lanka) with which Herport was personally associated" (Howgego).
With folding views and plans for the Cape of Good Hope, Batavia, Formosa (fortress Zeelandia), Ceylon, Cochin and others.

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.
