EDITORS COMMENTS

The map meticulously illustrates the various rivers, districts, and plantations in the region. The left side of the map features a column with the names of the plantation owners, totaling 519. The right side includes a wider area map and a cartouche displaying the title and the coat of arms of Suriname. The top left corner of the map showcases a map of the wider area, while the top right corner features a cartouche with the scale.
