Title
Nederlands: Kaart van de baai, stad en vestingwerken van Colombo
English: Map of the bay, city and fortifications of Colombo
Description
Nederlands: Titel catalogus Leupe (NA): Kaart van de Baai, Stad en Vestingwerken van Columbo.

Plattegrond van de stad Colombo en omgeving. De huizen, de vestingwal en de gebouwen zijn in opstand getekend.

Notities verso: Behoort bij Overgekomen brieven en papieren Ceilon 1655, II [folio ?] nr. 542a.

Deze kaart is waarschijnlijk vervaardigd vòòr de verovering van Colombo op de Portugezen van 1656, aangezien de namen genoemd op deze kaart nog in het Portugees zijn.
English: The original title according to the catalogue Leupe (NA) reads: Kaart van de Baai, Stad en Vestingwerken van Columbo.

Map of the city of Colombo and its surroundings. The houses, the rampart and the buildings are drawn in elevation.

Notes on reverse: Behoort bij Overgekomen brieven en papieren Ceilon 1655, II [folio ?] nr. 542a.

This map was most probably drawn before Colombo was seized from the Portuguese in 1656, because the names mentioned on the map are still in Portuguese.
