Banquet to mark new treaties between the VOC and the rulers of Timor
Anoniem / Anonymous
Festive banquet, organised by Johannes Paravicini, a VOC commissioner who was instructed by the Company to persuade the rulers of Timor and the surrounding islands to forge a treaty barring outside merchants from the region. In this way trade with other nations (the VOC was particularly concerned about the Portuguese) was forbidden.
