Nine illustrations with scenes from the voyage of Bontekoe

A large plate, flanked by eight prints, each with its own caption.

The central plate shows the vessel 'Hooren' that exploded at sea one night in 1619. A portrait of Bontekoe is shown in a cartouche top centre. Two rowing boats with survivors are depicted near the exploding ship as well as a completely burnt-out vessel. Several people are shown drifting in the water.

The captions to the other plates suggest they depict scenes from Bontekoe's voyage.
