Daarnhouwer & Co was founded in Amsterdam in 1908 as a specialized cocoa trader, expanding into coffee and tree nuts following the First World War and subsequently into spices, dried fruits, and other tropical commodities. The firm’s logo has always featured the Halve Maen — the ship Henry Hudson sailed for the Dutch East India Company in 1609 — a deliberate invocation of Amsterdam’s centuries-old role as the center of global commodity trade. By the time this map was produced in 1971, Daarnhouwer operated a worldwide network of offices spanning New York, London, Hamburg, Antwerp, Vienna, Singapore, and Sapele in Nigeria. The company remains in business today, operating from Zaandam near Amsterdam.
