The engraving was published in the Histoire générale des voyages to visually document European exploration and colonial outposts.
Abbé Prévost (Antoine François Prévost d'Exiles) was a French novelist, historian, and cleric of the 18th century, best known for his novel Manon Lescaut. Crucially for this work, he was the primary editor and compiler of the multi-volume Histoire générale des voyages, a monumental compendium that synthesized and documented the accounts of European exploration and geographical knowledge from around the globe.
