(View of the island, and the roadstead of St. Iago. Drawn by Johann Christian Friderci \/ Depiction of the inhabitants on St Iago)<\/p>\n

?Porto Praia, Cape Verde, 1783.<\/p>\n

Watercolour with ruled black ink border on laid paper, watermarked Pro Patria with Maid of Dort,
\nH. 29. 5 x W. 120.5 cm<\/p>\n

The largest recorded early modern panoramic view of Cape Verde, by “the best VOC map maker in South Africa” (Koeman). This is his earliest known work.<\/p>\n

Santiago’s Porto Praia is the main harbour of Cape Verde. It served as an important transportation hub for enslaved African people to the Americas and for the restocking of ships bound for the Cape with salt and fresh foods. These two functions of the island are depicted in the cartouche in the top right. It shows an African family and examples of livestock: a turkey and a goat. The man wears clothes that are also seen in depictions of plantation guards in the West Indies of the same period.<\/span><\/p>\n
