In Middelburg, explorer Jacob Roggeveen was born in 1659. He became famous for discovering Easter Island, not until he was 62 years old! In Middelburg you can still find a fake Paaseilaindbeeld that refers to that.
He was once exiled from Middelburg because he wrote a liberal pamphlet 'The fall of the world's idol'.
For the rest, Jacob Roggeveen is quite mysterious because there is not a single image of him to be found.
The Zeeland Archives are decorated with texts from travelogues by Jacob Roggeveen.
