EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the esteemed Portrait of Thomas Ernsthuys, director general of the West India Company, taken to commemorate his passing. In this poignant image, Ernsthuys is depicted holding a staff in his right hand, symbolizing his authority and leadership within the company. The margins surrounding the portrait bear his name, titles, and an evocative poem that pays tribute to his legacy. The photograph transports us back to Africa and Guinea during the late 17th century when the West India Company held significant influence over trade in these regions. It serves as a testament to Ernsthuys' pivotal role in shaping the company's operations and fostering its growth during this era. Crafted by Abraham Bloteling between 1684 and 1690 in Amsterdam, this paper engraving measures an impressive 355 mm in height and 255 mm in width. Its meticulous detailing captures every nuance of Ernsthuys' countenance while conveying a sense of dignity befitting such an influential figure. As we admire this remarkable piece from Liszt Collection, let us reflect on Thomas Ernsthuys' profound impact on both the West India Company and colonial history at large. His memory lives on through this exquisite portrait that immortalizes him as a visionary leader who left an indelible mark upon our collective past.
