West-indianische Reissbeschreibung, de An. 1639. biss 1645. von Ambsterdam nach St. Jorius de Mina, ein Castel, in Africa,
A 1663 German travel account by Michael Hemmersam, edited by Christoph Ludwig Dietherr, printed in Nuremberg for a German readership, describing a voyage from Amsterdam via the West Indies to the Dutch fort of St. Jorge da Mina on the African Guinea coast. The engravings show native villages, palms, and canoes in dense, parallel-line hatching, with a dramatic use of contrast between black and white that a designer could use for scenes of tropical coast life.
