Description
English: An aerial view of the city of Goa, which was the centre of Portugal's Indian Empire and spice trade. Numerous ships occupy the foreground, and the upper part of the engraving is entirely taken up by strapwork cartouches containing the Portuguese and Goan coats of arms, title, dedication to Albert of Austia and a key to sites in the city. This plate was engraved by Baptist van Doetechum and is from Linschoten's "Itinerario", which was a manual for sailing to the East Indies, based on Linschoten's own experiences and secret Portuguese guides.

Licensing

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

The author died in 1611, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.


This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
