Getting started with the collection:
Plate
anonymous, c. 1735 - c. 1740
The coat of arms is that of the Valckenier family. The plate was part of a set ordered by Governor Adriaan Valckenier. The town depicted at the right could be Cleves in Germany, where a distant relative of Adriaan lived. Perhaps one of the other city views includes the Governor’s house in Batavia.
