Kaart van de Nederlandse Antillen 1860 - 1862

This detailed map, created by Gerard Voorduin between 1860 and 1862, depicts the islands of the Dutch Antilles. The map, which is housed in the Rijksmuseum, uses a detailed grid system and a variety of shading techniques to represent the topography of the islands. The Dutch text throughout the map makes it clear that this was created for a Dutch audience and showcases Dutch cartographic practices in the 19th century.
