VOC at Longvek (Lavek)
At the time of production of this view in 1724, the VOC story here had already ended. Their settlement with palisades (far right) symbolizes their intra-Asian trade. At this place, Dutch merchants sold cotton and bought mostly rye and deer skins in … for the Japanese market.
The place Eauweck (now Khum Peam Lvek) on the Mekong River lay near the ancient Cambodian capital Udong. The Dutch trade, which dates back to 1609, knew some ups and downs. Their first settlement goes back to 1620. After a Chinese sacking, the post was definitively abandoned in 1667.
