Decker, Coenraet
De Stadt Coylang and I'Casteel Goelegoele opt Eylandt Ceram, 1720. Mounted, hand-coloured in wash.
Two prints relating to the Verenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie (Dutch East-India Company). According to information on the reverse of the prints, the identity of Coylang is unclear, but there is a Ceram Sea in the Mollucas Group of Islands, Indonesia. The largest island is called Binaija and the largest town on that island, Bula. The prints show the ships and men of the VOC, so whereever they are, they were clearly of interest to the Dutch trading company. [2]
