EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 18th-century map print, titled "Map of the colony or province of Suriname: with the rivers, districts, discoveries by military expeditions and the size of the measured plantations," was created by the renowned Dutch cartographer Hendrik de Leth between 1737 and 1757. The map, which consists of two sheets joined together, offers a detailed representation of Suriname, a Dutch plantation colony located in South America. 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.
