Fort Lijdzaamheid te Apam in Ghana 1709

This 1709 anonymous engraving, titled "Fort Lijdzaamheid te Apam in Ghana," depicts a Dutch fort in Ghana. This print, part of the Rijksmuseum collection, provides a historical glimpse into Dutch colonial presence in West Africa. The detailed depiction showcases the fort’s architecture, its strategic location atop a hill, and the surrounding landscape. The two identical illustrations, possibly intended for different versions of a publication, offer a clear view of the fort's defensive structure and the Dutch flag flying above.
