Description
Nederlands: Gezicht op de Goudkust, van Elmina tot Mouree.

Vüe de la côte depuis Mina jusqu'au Maure, tirée de Barbot et de Smith.

Het fort op de voorgrond is waarschijnlijk niet het fort te Manfro, maar fort Nassau te Moure. Manfro, of eigenlijk Princes Town, ligt aan de andere kant van Elmina, gezien vanaf Cabo Corso.

Op de voorgrond is te zien hoe slaven aan boord van een schip gebracht worden.

Cf. Koninklijke Bibliotheek, Den Haag, inv. nr. 693 C 6 deel IV, na p. 535 en 3032 B 10, to. p. 588.
