Battle between Turkish pirates and Portuguese near Dabul.

The Portuguese were driven out by the Turks.

This print is taken from a French edition of the 'Itinerario' by Jan Huygen van Linschoten.

The print itself is however a copy of an illustration from 'Indiae Orientalis', part II, by the De Bry brothers of Frankfurt. According to the 'Mémoire bibliographique' by P.A. Tiele, this edition was not printed in Amsterdam but by the publisher of De Bry's travels in Frankfurt.
