"Griekenland. - 1,000,000 inwoners" is a 1850 print by Jan Schuitemaker. The image is a visual representation of a 19th century print that includes a map of Greece, and three hand-colored illustrations depicting the city of Athens, the port of Nauplia and the bridge of Chalkis. The prints are accompanied by detailed descriptions of the three locations in Dutch, providing insight into 19th century perceptions of Greek geography and history. Schuitemaker, a Dutch printmaker, was known for his work in the genre of educational prints, and his work is often considered to be an example of the development of early cartography and illustration in the Netherlands. This print is a valuable example of the popularization of knowledge through illustrated publications, and it offers a glimpse into the Dutch perspective of Greece in the 19th century.
