Title
Nederlands: De twaalfjarige koning van Deccan
English: The twelve year old king of Deccan
Description
Nederlands: De twaalfjarige koning van Deccan.

De jonge koning zwaait met zijn scepter.

Deccan is een gebied in India dat ruwweg tussen Suratte en Narbadar ligt.

Dr. Olfert Dapper (1636-1689) publiceerde na 1663 een groot aantal boeken. Hij schreef een geschiedenis van de stad Amsterdam en verzorgde de eerste Nederlandse vertaling van Herodotus. Hij is echter vooral bekend vanwege zijn vele beschrijvingen van vreemde landen die hij uit verschillende bronnen samenstelde, zonder dat hij de landen waarover hij schreef ooit zag. Deze afbeelding is afkomstig uit een beschrijving van Azië.

De uitgever van dit boek, Jacob van Meurs, was ook graveur. Het is echter niet zeker of hij ook de graveur van deze prenten was.
English: The twelve year old king of Deccan.

The young king waves his sceptre.

Deccan is a region in India lying roughly between Suratte and Narbadar.

Dr Olfert Dapper (1636-1689) published a large number of books after 1663. He wrote a history of the city of Amsterdam and furnished the first Dutch translation of Herodotus. But he is known particularly for his many descriptions of foreign lands which he compiled from various sources, without ever seeing the countries he wrote about for himself.

This plate is taken from a description of Asia.

The publisher of this volume, Jacob van Meurs, was also an engraver. However it is not certain whether he was the engraver of these prints.
