Description

Nederlands: Gezicht op Nieuw Amsterdam.

Novum Amsterodamum.

Midden op de afbeelding is een man gezien die aan zijn middel is opgehangen. Deze activiteit is te vergelijken met wat er in Zuid-Amerika [Suriname] met weggelopen of opstandige slaven gebeurde: de gestrafte werd met een haak aan zijn ribben opgehangen en rondgezwierd. Dit zogenaamde 'hook swinging' vond ook in India plaats.

English: View of Nieuw Amsterdam.

Novum Amsterodamum.

In the centre of the picture a man is depicted hanging by his middle. This activity is comparable to the punishment meted out to runaway or recalcitrant slaves in South America (Surinam). The slave being punished was suspended by a hook in his ribs and swung to and fro. This so-called 'hook swinging' was also practiced in India.
