page 466 note 1 I am suspicious regarding the originality of these drawings, especially of those of trees and plants. As regards one drawing, however, there can be no manner of doubt, viz. that of “An Achin cripple” (plate xviii, fig. 3), which is simply copied from plate iii (“Afteeckeninge van de grouwelijcke Institie in Achin”), at p. 14 of the account of the voyage of Wybrandt van Waerwijck and Sebaldt de Weert to the East in 1602, printed in deel 1 of Begin ende Voortgangh, etc. (1644). A simple comparison of the two proves this at a glance.
