Portuguese outpost,Aden,16th century. Historical artwork of the Portuguese trading post in Aden,Yemen. Portuguese trading posts were founded across Asia during the 16th century after the 1497-9 voyage by Vasco da Gama that opened the way for European maritime commerce. This artwork is from 'Lendas da India' (Legends of India) by the Portuguese historian Gaspar Correia (c.1496-1563). This book,one of the earliest works about Portuguese rule in Asia,existed in manuscript form until it was published in the 19th century by the Royal Academy of Sciences of Lisbon | |
