The plate is taken from: 'Oud en Nieuw Oost-Indiën' van François Valentyn.
The plate features a key numbered 1 through 4, but there are no explanatory notes. Neither does the text feature any explanations.
According to Valentyn there was a Dutch trading post on the Maningaar River. The river is probably the Manarara river on the east coast near the Bay of Antongil.
