Suriname Market Scene
Illustrating the "Guyana" entry in a late 19th-century German encyclopedia, this beautifully rendered image features three bejeweled market women of Suriname (the former Dutch Guiana). One of the vendors is shown seated next to her basket of bananas and pineapples; another balances a tray of grains on her head.
