EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a pass card depicting various Surinamese rivers, capturing the essence of this beautiful South American country. The pass card features intricate details and fascinating elements that tell a story of exploration and trade. At the top left corner, we see a thunderous man holding sugar cane and a turtle, symbolizing the abundance of natural resources in Suriname. The title and address of the publisher are also displayed alongside this powerful image. In the bottom right corner, two traders can be seen tasting merchandise offered by a dark-skinned man, highlighting the diverse cultural influences present in Suriname's history. Meanwhile, other dark-skinned men are depicted engaged in different work activities. The pass card includes two compass roses with an interesting twist - North is positioned below instead of its usual placement at the top. This unique design choice adds to the artistic appeal of the print. Below these scenes, there is a scale shown in German, Spanish, English or French miles – reflecting Suriname's historical connections to European nations. The scale indicates that this pass card represents approximately 450,000 times smaller than actual size. Overall, this remarkable engraving by Jan Luyken from Amsterdam captures both the natural beauty and cultural diversity found along Suriname's rivers. It serves as not only an informative tool for navigation but also as an exquisite piece of art that transports viewers back to centuries past when sailing ships traversed these waters in search of new horizons.
