103 Jacques-Nicolas Bellin (1703–1772) – View of Malacca – Engraving (1753)
This detailed engraving is a topographical view of the historic port city of Malacca, in modern-day Malaysia. The image captures a lively harbor scene filled with various ships and boats in the foreground, with the city rising from the coast in the background. A prominent fort or large building is visible on a hill, a common feature of colonial port cities. The print is from Jacques-Nicolas Bellin's supplement to Abbé Prévost’s Histoire générale des voyages, providing a valuable historical record of this important trading hub in the mid-18th century.
Jacques-Nicolas Bellin was a French cartographer and naval officer, who served as the first Ingénieur Hydrographe de la Marine. He was a key figure in 18th-century cartography, known for his prolific and highly accurate maps of coasts and ports around the world. His works, including Petit Atlas Maritime, were considered authoritative for many years and contributed significantly to navigational knowledge.
