Curacao | Willemstad | Map | 1912 | Giclée Print

This beautiful map, consisting of two map sheets and titled "Kaart van het stadsdistrict van het eiland Curaçao," was created in 1912 by surveyor Werbata. The original color lithograph measures 124 cm in width and 61 cm in height, depicts the urban district of Curaçao at a scale of 1:5,000, and features detailed topography as well as the city plan of Willemstad, the capital of the Dutch Antillean island of Curaçao. Stone buildings are shaded pink, and wooden structures yellow, effectively conveying the architectural landscape. Furthermore, it shows government and military areas, the commercial district, and infrastructure with roads and canals.
The map highlights Willemstad's strategically favorable location. The city is divided by the St. Annabaai Canal, which flows into the Schottegat lagoon. This port facility played a crucial role in the city's development into a multicultural trading hub.
