View of Ternate

Francois Valentijn (1666–1727) was a minister, naturalist and writer who served the Dutch V.O.C. in the East Indies in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. His monumental work Oud en Nieuw Oost-Indien (Old and New East-India), published between 1724 and 1726, offers a comprehensive mapping of the East Indies with a large selection of scale maps and views. This print of island of Ternate, with the eruption of Gunung Gamalama, was published in that work.
