This 1850-1881 print by Dirk Noothoven van Goor depicts Suriname, a Dutch colony in South America. The image features several small illustrations including a map, a fort, a town, and a countryside scene. The text below each image provides information about the location and surrounding landscape. The print was published in the children's magazine "Prenten-Magazijn voor de Jeugd," and would have been used to educate young Dutch people about their colonial territories. The work showcases the importance of colonialism and geographic exploration in 19th-century European culture.
