EDITORS COMMENTS
This tail-piece image is taken from the Dutch edition of "Het gezantschap der Nederlandsch-Oost-Indische Compagnie aan den grooten Tartarischen Cham, den tegenwoordigen keizer van China," published in 1655. The work, which translates to "The Embassy of the Dutch East India Company to the Great Tartar Cham, the Present Emperor of China," was created by the renowned Dutch engraver, Jacob Pieter Goyer. The image showcases an elaborate procession of Chinese officials, adorned in rich robes and decorations, paying homage to the Dutch embassy. The Dutch envoys, dressed in their finest attire, stand at the center, presenting their gifts to the Chinese emperor, depicted as a majestic figure seated on a throne. The emperor, in turn, is shown bestowing blessings upon the Dutch delegation. This striking image offers a glimpse into the complex political and diplomatic relations between the Dutch East India Company and the Chinese government during the 17th century. The Dutch East India Company, established in 1602, was a powerful trading organization that played a significant role in the global spice trade. Its embassies to the Chinese court were crucial in establishing and maintaining diplomatic and commercial ties between the two powerful entities. The intricate details of the Chinese officials' robes and the grandeur of the imperial throne reflect the cultural richness and sophistication of the Chinese court. The image serves as a testament to the importance of diplomacy and cultural exchange in the early modern world, as well as the Dutch East India Company's pivotal role in shaping international relations during this period.
