Map Description
Old map of Brazil, Colombia, France, French Guiana, Grenada, Guyana, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago, Venezuela (Bolivarian Republic of).
century Dutch map, produced in Amsterdam by the publisher Isaak Tirion (circa 1705--circa 1769), shows the northern coast of South American and its offshore islands, including Curaçao, Bonaire, and neighboring islands; Trinidad and Tobago; and Grenada. Guiana is divided, from west to east, into Spanish, Dutch, and French sections, corresponding roughly to a part of present-day Venezuela and present-day Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana. The territory to the south of Guiana, in present-day Brazil, is labeled as Portuguese. Three scales are given in the main map: French and English nautical miles; Spanish miles; and number of hours needed to cover certain distances. The inset maps provide detailed views of the island of Curaçao, the Dutch plantations along the Essequibo and Demerara Rivers, and the harbor and castle of Curaçao. In 1814 the Dutch ceded control of their colonies in Essequibo and Demerara to the British, who consolidated them into the colony of British Guiana, which became the independent state of Guyana in 1966.
Created by Isaak Tirion in 1720.

Map Sizing Information
- For the best legibility, order your map in the original size or larger. Most maps have intricate detail and small text that is best appreciated when the print size hasn't been reduced.
- Sizes labeled "Fits a Standard Frame" will drop right into any frame that you purchase in that size. The sizes that we offer are commonly available online and at most retail stores.
- Our standard sizes are recommendations based on the aspect ratio of the original map, but still may require some added "white space" in one dimension to fit.
- Non-standard sizes will require custom framing, and we suggest taking your print to the frame shop of your choice after you receive it for the best results.
- Custom sizes are available, simply contact us for a quote.
Below is an approximation of the scale of a few standard sizes, and how they might appear in your space.
