Additional Details

A fascinating and very rare mapping of Dutch colonial efforts in South America. The plan includes a plot-level accounting of crop cultivation. Unrecorded in dealer and auction catalogs. Koeman, Surinam, 273. (This is an earlier state than the JCB example, which includes a trompe l'oeil scroll describing inland territory and its insuitability for cultivation.)
