Where it came from
Published in 1700 by Abraham de Hond, this Dutch edition translates Lionel Wafer’s account of his time spent among the indigenous people of the Isthmus of Panama. Wafer, a surgeon who had been serving as a buccaneer, was stranded in the region in 1681 due to an injury and subsequently gained deep insight into the local customs and topography. The work emerged during a period of intense European curiosity regarding the Americas, serving both as a travel narrative and a strategic resource for those interested in colonial expansion and geography.
The publication is notable for its inclusion of illustrations depicting the landscape and the people Wafer encountered. These visuals were intended to provide a window into a largely unknown corner of the world for the Dutch reading public. The text is celebrated today by historians for its ethnological observations, which were remarkably detailed for the era, and it remains a significant primary source for scholars studying the history of Darién and the intersection of European exploration and indigenous life.
