Tapir in the Water
For the first time in European history, in 1704, a live tapir was displayed in Amsterdam on the Botermarkt (now the Rembrandtplein). Emperor Leopold I had ordered the capture and taming of the animal so that people could see the creature up close. It was there that the Amsterdammer Willem van Royen saw it and afterwards made this drawing.
