Leiden, KITLV, 2003. 0blong 8vo. Boards. With 152 plates and illustrations (several in colours) by Arnold Borret. 180 pp. Suriname must have made a lasting impression on the lawyer and Redemptorist father Arnold Borret (1848-1888). In 1878 Borret had left for Paramaribo, the capital of Suriname, where he was employed as a clerk at the Court of Justice. Later he became a judge and a member of the 'Koloniale Staten', the colonial council of representatives. Apart from his official duties, Borret was a prolific draughtsman as well. Besides luscious landscapes he preferred to draw the different racial types in Suriname: Creole women in their typical dress, the 'kotomisi', immigrants from China and British India. Borret concentrated on the particular and exotic aspects of his subjects. Local context was irrelevant to him. For the first time, all drawings have been reproduced.
