.. Antique Print of the Dardanelles by Dapper (1677)

Description: Antique print titled 'Divo Caesar Augusto L. Clunidius I. F. Cla: ponto'. Original antique print showing a view of the Dardanelles, Turkey, with ships. This print originates from 'Naukeurige Beschryving der Eilanden in de Archipel der Middelantsche Zee' by Olfert Dapper, published in Amsterdam by Van Meurs, 1677.

Artists and Engravers: Olfert Dapper (c. 1635 - 1689) was a Dutch physician and writer. He wrote books about history and geography, although he never travelled outside Holland. Until today, his book Description of Africa (1668) is a key text for Africanists.
