EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th century ink and pencil drawing by Jacob van Geffen, titled "Oeman Kondre on the Marowijne River, Suriname, 1850," offers a glimpse into the colonial past of Suriname, South America. The Marowijne River, a major geographical feature in the country, serves as the backdrop for this scenic view. The river, teeming with life, winds its way through lush greenery, revealing the settlement of Oeman Kondre nestled on its banks. The drawing showcases a vibrant and diverse landscape, with the rainforest extending far beyond the houses and huts, their thatched roofs a stark contrast against the dense foliage. The houses, built primarily of wood and thatch, are dotted along the riverbank, their simple yet sturdy structures a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the local population. The drawing also captures the daily life of the native people, as they go about their business, oblivious to the artist's gaze. The scene is a rich tapestry of colors, from the deep greens of the forest to the earthy browns of the houses and the clear blues of the river. Jacob van Geffen, a Dutch artist, masterfully captures the essence of this colonial settlement, its people, and its surroundings. His use of ink and pencil on paper adds to the raw, authentic feel of the drawing, making it a valuable piece of heritage art that transports us back in time to a colonial era in Suriname's history.
