Originating from the "Supplément au Tome II. N° 9."

It meticulously illustrates the city's coastal layout, buildings, and the bustling harbor with numerous ships, offering an 18th-century visual record of this significant East Indies trading post.
Antoine François Prévost (1697–1763), often referred to as Abbé Prévost, was a prominent French novelist, journalist, and historian. He is best known for compiling and editing the monumental 20-volume "Histoire générale des voyages," which brought together a vast collection of travel accounts from various explorers.
