Description
C18th view of the European factories at the Royal Palace of Savi. Included are the Portuguese, English, French and Dutch factories. The Dutch factory is at the bottom right. In the beginning of the 18th century, the Dutch had a small trading post in Savi (capital of the Kingdom of Whydah, present day Benin), next to the Royal Palace. Compared to the English and French trading posts, the Dutch post was rather minimalistic in nature.
