EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illustration from Jan Huyghen van Linschoten's renowned work, "His Discourse of Voyages into the East and West Indies". Created by Johannes Baptista van Doetechum, the Younger, this colorful engraving offers a glimpse into the Portuguese presence in Goa during the late 16th century. Intriguingly, Jan Huyghen van Linschoten was not only a Dutch merchant but also an avid traveler who meticulously copied Portuguese nautical maps. His efforts played a pivotal role in opening up the East Indies to both Dutch and British explorers. This particular illustration captures the essence of colonial India with its depiction of customs and attire prevalent at that time. The image portrays several figures adorned in traditional Indian garments, including cloaks and parasols. The attention to detail is remarkable as it beautifully conveys the cultural fusion between Portugal and India during this period. The vibrant colors used by Doetechum further enhance our understanding of this historical moment. Preserved within a private collection, this photograph taken by eLuca Tettoni allows us to appreciate not only the artistic mastery behind this engraving but also its significance in shaping European exploration and trade routes. As we delve into history through visual artistry like this one, we gain valuable insights into past civilizations' encounters and their lasting impact on global affairs.
