Inhaltsangabe

Raffles's "The History of Java" has, since its original publication in 1817, been distinguished by its exceptional illustrations. William Daniell was the greatest aquatint engraver of his age, and the aquatint plates of Javanese costume and scenery which he executed for Raffles' book are minor masterpieces in themselves, together representing a revolutionary step forward in the pictorial depiction of the people of Indonesia. Ten colour aquatints are reproduced in this volume. There are also 82 engravings and a fold-out map.
