EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning black and white print captures the bustling city of Paramaribo in Dutch Guiana, now known as Suriname, in 1864. The lithographic plate is part of a collection titled "Scenery of the Netherlands' West Indies" published by Buffa and Sons of Amsterdam.
Paramaribo, the thriving capital of this colony, is depicted as pleasantly situated on the Surinam River, which was a hub of activity and trade during that time. The illustration provides a glimpse into the daily life and transportation methods in this colonial city.
The detailed engraving showcases sailing ships navigating the river, with buildings lining the waterfront creating a picturesque scene. This historical artwork offers a window into 19th-century British perceptions of Dutch Guiana's landscape and culture.
As we admire this piece from "Illustrated London News", we are transported back in time to an era when water transport played a crucial role in connecting cities and facilitating trade. The unknown creator has captured not just a moment in history but also the essence of Paramaribo's charm and significance as an important port city.
This print serves as a valuable reminder of our shared past and highlights the beauty and importance of places like Paramaribo in shaping our global heritage.
