First EVER print on Bombay (1672) from the Dutch 1st edition of Phillipus Baldaeus' journey - easily the most prominent British (East India Company) structure at this time; concept of a Fort didn't exist yet.

It shows: Two views of the fort of the English colonizing forces in Bombay, India. One view, from the seaside, shows various large sailing ships.
