Antique Print of the City of Malacca 'Malaysia' by F. Valentijn, circa 1730

About the Item

This copper-engraved view depicts the city of Malacca, with numerous ships sailing the Straits of Malacca. Valentyn was a prominent historian of the Dutch East India Company who is best known for 'Oud en Nieuw Oost Indien', his illustrated account of the Dutch trading Empire in Asia. He traveled to the East Indies twice and served as Calvinist minister to Ambon between 1686 and 1694. For the preparation of this monumental work, he was given access to the secret archives of the VOC, containing transcripts and copies of important earlier Dutch voyages.
