MADRAS- CHENNAI. Fort St. George on the Coromandel Coast. Belonging to the East India Company of England. - Le fort St. George sur la cote de Coromandel. Appartemante a la Compagnie Angloise des Indes Orientales. London, Laurie & Whittle, 1794.Contemporary handcoloured perspective view (vue d'optique or Guckkastenbild) after Jan van Ryne, with legend in English and French. Ca. 26 x 40 cm. Fine bird's-eye view from offshore of the fort in Madras, now Chennai, with many ships in the foreground by Jan van Ryne. He was a Dutch artist, who moved to London in 1750 and worked as a draughtsman and engraver in the city until his death ten years later. In 1754, Robert Sayer published six �Views of Early Settlements�, which were both drawn and engraved by van Ryne. The titles were: �Fort St. George on the Coromandel Coast�, �Bombay on the Malabar Coast�, �Fort William on the Kingdom of Bengal�, �The City of Batavia in the Island of Java�, �Island of St Helena� and �The Cape of Good Hope�. Van Ryne presumably had no first-hand knowledge of these locations, but worked from the sketches of travellers. The prints were later reissued by Laurie and Whittle in London, in 1794. 'Madras was the Company's first fortified settlement in India; the construction of Fort St George began in 1640 and continued on and off for another 150 years. It houses all the administrative and military necessities, as well as St Mary's church (the oldest Anglican church in India), finished in 1680. The Old College, the equivalent of the Writers' Building in Calcutta, was one of the Company's few eighteenth-century buildings in the gothic style, and still stands' (Wild, The East India Company, p.52). Rare view of the first major English settlement in India and the foundation stone of Chennai. - Some foxing otherwise fine. [Boeknr.: 26413 ]

Modern half red morocco, spine ribbed, a.e.g. (binding by Sangorski & Sutcliffe). With large woodcut title-vignette depicting two vessels and folding engraved plate depicting 6 views. 92 pp. The journal of Van Neck and Warwijck was first published by Cornelis Claesz in Amsterdam in 1600. - The Dutch navigator Van Neck (1564-1638) was a representative of the Verre Compagny who in 1598 commanded three of the ships of the first successful Dutch trading voyage to the East Indies. The other ships were commanded by Van Warwijck and Jacob van Heemskerk. Van Neck's ships became separated from those of Warwijck and Heemskerk shortly after rounding the Cape of Good Hope. He did see them only some time after his arrival at Bantam. Loaded with cargo, four of the ships under Van Neck returned to Holland in 1599, while Warwijck continued to the Moluccas and Heemskerk to the Banda Islands. Van Neck was accompanied by Willem Jansz, the discoverer of Australia, then on his first voyage as mate of the Hollandia. Van Neck's was the most profitable of the pre-VOC voyages (Howgego p.746). An important account of the second voyage of the Dutch to the East-Indies and first Dutch voyage to the Moluccas, which became the foundation for later Dutch control of the Moluccan spice trade. Also including a vocabulary of Javanese and Malay words. The second part contains the voyage by Sebald de Weert. He sailed with the fleet of Jacques Mahu but was separated from the fleet in the Strait of Magellan and coincidentally encountered the fleet of Olivier van Noort which was sailing on a quite separate expedition which was to result in the first Dutch circumnavigation (Howgego p.1097). - Two important voyages combined in one volume. - A fine and scarce copy.Tiele 787; Tiele, Mémoire, 131; Landwehr, VOC, 251; Lach, Asia in the making of Europe III, p.439-440; Sabin 52214; European Americana II, p.493.

The able and sympathetic admiral, Jacob van Neck, was in supreme command. All eight ships reached Bantam and four of them were able to return immediately, loaded with pepper. The remaining four, under the command of vice-admiral Wybrant van Warwijck, continued the journey to Amboyna, the chief centre of the clove trade in the Spice Islands. Warwijck despatched his deputy, Jacob van Heemskerck, to the Banda Archipelago, the only place in the world in those days where nutmeg and its by-product mace were found. This is the most successful fleet of all Dutch voyages to Asia before the establishment of the VOC. - Fine complete set. [Boeknr.: 253 ]

Beneffens een naauwkeurige beschryving der Sineesche steden, dorpen, regeering, weetenschappen, handwerken, zeden, godsdiensten, gebouwen, drachten, scheepen, bergen, gewassen, dieren &c. en oorlogen tegen de Tarters. Amsterdam, Wolfgang, Waasberge, Boom, Van Someren & Goethals, 1693.2 volumes in 1. Folio. Contemporary half calf (spine dam; one hinge cracked but holding). With title-page printed in red and black, engraved frontispiece depicting the emperor of China with globe and a convicted criminal (mounted), engraved portrait of the author, and 34 double-page engraved plates and 110 large engravings in the text; without the map. (8),208;258,(10) pp. Later edition; first published in 1665. - Between 1640 and 1644 Nieuhof was serving as an official of the Dutch West India Company (WIC) in Brazil, but by 1665 he was at Batavia, in Java, as a servant of the Dutch East India Company (VOC). In 1665 Nieuhof published what is regarded as the definitive account of the Dutch embassy to Peking, and it is for this that he is best known (Howgego p.752). Nieuhof's account presented the Dutch reader with the most substantial and detailed description of the Middle Kingdom yet published. It contains information from the most important Jesuit sources and adds to them the observations of one of the first Dutchmen to travel in China's interior and visit the capital. Nieuhof's book is lavishly illustrated (providing) European readers with more realistic visual images of China's landscape and people than ever before (Lach-Kley, Asia in the making, III, p.484. This first embassy of the Dutch East India Company of Pieter de Goyer and Jakob de Keyser to the court of China in the years 1655-57, describes all the events during this mission, the country, people, flora & fauna, etc. It is one of the very few non-Jesuit sources of the period. It is richly illustrated with large views of all ports and places visited, starting with Batavia, and with numerous nice text-engravings illustrating in detail Chinese life in the 17th century. The illustrations, engraved after Nieuhof's relatively accurate drawings exercised a considerable influence on the European conception of China and were widely used and reproduced (Löwendahl p. 65). The Paolinxi-plate mentioned in the index is actually only present in the Latin edition. - (Lower blank margins in first part waterstained; some lvs and plates inserted from another copy). - The first Dutch eye-witness account of China.Tiele 800; Landwehr, VOC, 539; Cat.
