Dr olfert dapper (1636-1689) published a large number of books after 1663. He wrote a history of the city of amsterdam and furnished the first dutch translation of herodotus. But he is known particularly for his many descriptions of foreign lands which he compiled from various sources, without ever seeing the countries he wrote about for himself. This plate is taken from a description of africa. Cf. Koninklijke bibliotheek, den haag, inv. Nr. 693 c 6, part vi, after p. 239 and 3032 b 12 after p. 215. Date: circa 1668.
