View of fort Nassau on the Berbice River from the south

Title Leupe: Verschillende gezigten op het fort ...? zoo van de rivier als aan de landzyde.

This watercolour drawing shows the views of Fort Nassau from the south. From this illustration it can be deduced that the outer side of the walls and the four half-bastions forming the corners of the renovated fort were all covered with wooden palisades, as, according to engravings in Hartsinck’s Beschryving, was the case for the earlier fortifications. See also the ground plans on VEL1661A-B.
