For a 1664 Dutch engraving of the Stadsherberg, which stood on the Amsterdam wharf from 1662 to 1872, see C. Le Corbeiller, Patterns of Exchange, p. 108. In the words of Howard & Ayers, China for the West, p.193, this must have been where the V.O.C. sailors ...'spent their last hours before embarkation....and the first on their return'.
