RE: Travel with me #106 : South Village 44, Taipei!
Awesome pictures! Enjoy this map of Taiwan (Formosa) By: Francois Valentijn, 1727. It is the earliest European made map to focus on the island, which the Dutch attempted to turn into a major trading post

The map is Dutch made and I could not find any queens of the era that looks like this one. This leads me to believe the queen depicted is a fictitious figure.

The Spanish conquered the Mexican mainland by the early 1500s and Cortez actually reached La Paz by 1535. He was looking for a fabled gold city, but only discovered black pearls. Bummer... A later expedition
