Description
Nederlands: In 1655 publiceerde de Amsterdamse wereldreiziger Johan Nieuhof het verslag van zijn reis naar China. Het boek van Nieuhoff was een van de grootste bestsellers van de 17de eeuw. In de jaren daarna werd het boek verschillende malen herdrukt. Gelijktijdig verschenen ook andere, vaak rijk geillustreerde verhalen van andere uitgevers die op deze manier profijt wilden trekken van de enorme belangstelling voor dit gebied. Dit stadsgezicht op Peking is vermoedelijk afkomstig uit een dergelijke uitgave afkomstig.
English: The richly illustrated travel journal of Johan Nieuhof, a worldtraveller from Amsterdam was published in 1655. Nieuhoff accompanied from 1655 to 1658 a delegation of the Dutch East India Company (VOC) to the Emperor of China. After his return he had his journals published. The book was one of the great bestsellers of its time. The enormous interest in this kind of books stimulated many other publishers to publish richly illustrated travel stories. This view on Peking is probable taken from such a book.
