Description: Antique print titled 'Eygentliche Abconterfaytung dess Bazars oder Marckts zu Bantam, sampt allen seinen Wahren'. Depiction of a market the city of Banten (sometimes called Bantam), a port on Java. This print originates from the German edition of 'Grand Voyages' by Theodor de Bry.
Artists and Engravers: Johann Theodor de Bry (1561 - 1623) was born in Liege in 1561, the eldest son of the engraver and publisher Theodor de Bry. It was from his father that Johann learned his craft, producing both engravings and etchings. In 1588, the Lutheran De Bry family settled in Frankfurt am Main, a safe haven for Lutherans at this time of religious discord. Together with his father and brother (Johann Israel de Bry), Johann published two popular emblem books. He also produced engravings from celebrated contemporary painters.
