Good copy. Rare edition, beautifully illustrated work. This is "the definitive account" (Howgego) of the embassy that the VOC (Dutch East India Company) sent to the Emperor of China, the entire trip occupying the years 1655 to 1657. Precious for its vast iconographic part: frontispiece, portrait, folded geographical map, 34 plates and 110 engraved subjects: scenes, torture, costumes, botany, zoology, ships, temples, landscapes, city views, Batavia, Macao, Nanjing, Beijing, Canton, Imperial Palace, Porcelain Tower, etc. The second part gives a general description of the Chinese empire, including botany and zoology. The first part covers the East Indies and Southeast Asia before going on to China itself. Japan, Korea and Formosa appear as well. Nieuhof served as steward, artist and chronicler on Pieter de Goyer and Jacob de Keyzer's VOC embassy to the Chinese Emperor. The party got a more intimate view of China than almost any other Dutch visitor of the 17th century, and the breadth of Nieuhof's interests and the large number of drawings he made provided a wealth of new material that makes the present work an essential primary source. Cox: "The Dutch, being at the height of their power, having supplanted the Portuguese, desired to gain access to China and a portion of the Chinese trade. After much opposition the Government succeeded in sending merchants to try the pulse of the Chinese at Canton. Upon their report it was determined to despatch ambassadors from Batavia to the Court of Peking to solicit liberty to trade. This is the embassy written up by Nieuhoff, who was steward to the ambassadors." Lowendahl: "One plate (of "Paolinx" at p. 193 in the list of plates at end) was never issue in this edition. However, the picture of the "Paolinx Pagode" is engraved in reduced size on p. 108 in part one. "Cat. Nederl. Hist. Scheepvart Mus. 499; Graesse IV, 675; Cordier, BS 2344-45; Lust 541.
