Antique Print of Church Valley on the Island of St. Helena and a Hunting Scene

About the Item

Antique print titled 'The church valley.' This plate shows two engravings; view of the Church Valley on the island of St. Helena in the Atlantic Ocean. Below a warthog and a hunting scene with African natives. Published in Churchill's 'A Collection of Voyages and Travels, some now first printed from original manuscripts others now first printed in English', printed in 1744 for Henry Lintot. First published in 1682. Artists and Engravers: Johan / Jan / Johannes Nieuhof / Nieuhoff / Neuhof (1618-1672) was a Dutch traveler who wrote about his journeys to Brazil, China and India. The most famous of these was a trip of 2,400 km from Canton to Peking in 1655-1657 as part of a Dutch envoy, which enabled him to become an authoritative Western writer on China. Johan Nieuhof was born in Uelsen, Germany, of which his father (originally from Zwolle) was mayor. Nieuhof left for Brazil in 1640 as a reserve officer-candidate - from then on, barring two short family visits in 1658 and 1671, he spent all the rest of his life abroad. After an adventurous career in the service of the Dutch East India Company (or VOC) - between 1660 and 1667 he occupied posts in India and on Ceylon - he then lived in Batavia until 1670. He then disappeared without trace on Madagascar, traveling in a sloop from which he had landed to seek drinking water. The engravings are made after Nieuhoff's drawings. Condition: Good, given age. Paper slightly browned. Plate edges in the middle reinforced on verso. General age-related toning and/or occasional minor defects from handling. Please study image carefully.
