MOSQUE AND HINDU TEMPLE, IN DE BRY’S ‘SMALL VOYAGES’ SERIES<br>
1599<br>
Jan Huygen van Linschoten (1563–1611)<br>
<br>
The De Bry family published lavishly illustrated collections of voyages. One of the series was dedicated to the East Indies, based on an account of Indian customs from 1596 by a Dutch merchant called Linschoten. Here Muslims wash outside the mosque on the left, while Hindu worshippers kneel in front of 'terrible statues of the gods' in a temple on the right.<br>
