SILK PRINTING – Op het huwelyck Van den Koopman Cornelis Verburgh, En d ’ Eerbare Deucht- en Zedenrijcke Juffr . Maria van Rietbeeck . Batavia: Johannes van den Eede, 1674. An apparently unique epithalamion printed on silk in the Dutch East Indies. Written by an anonymous poet, it celebrates the marriage of Cornelis Verburgh (b.1646) and Maria van Riebeeck (1657-1688), the daughter of Jan van Riebeeck (1619-1677), founder of the Dutch settlement at Cape Town. The publisher, Johannes van den Eede, briefly ran a press at Batavia (now Jakarta) from 1674 until his death in 1675, issuing just 5 recorded publications. Amongst his output was the first translation of Confucius into a European language ( Eenige voorname eygenschappen van de ware deugdt , 1675). WorldCat records no copies in institutions; Landwehr appears to have known just a single copy held in a private collection (almost certainly this one); ABPC/RBH list no copies at auction. Landwehr VOC 1554. Broadsheet (590 x 495mm). Printed on silk, woodcut headpiece, 2 woodcut initials, text in double and triple-column.
