Edition originale divisée en quatre parties : Batavia (texte de van Rees), Buitenzorg, Java et De Buitenbezittengen (textes de Perelaer). Elle fut rédigée par deux des écrivains indonésiens les plus connus du XIXe siècle. L'illustration est bien complète des 4 frontispices lithographiés, des 4 vignettes d'en-tête, et des 103 planches chromolithographiées d'après les aquarelles de Rappard montées sur papier fort. Dès son arrivée en Indonésie en 1842, Josias Cornelis Rappard se spécialisa dans la peinture de vues topographiques et dans la représentation de la vie sociale européenne en Indonésie. Beaucoup de ces planches en couleur furent réalisées à partir de ces peintures, mais beaucoup furent créées à Leyde par Sijthoff à partir de photographies ou de gravures existantes. Magnifique exemplaire parfaitement conservé. Légères piqûres.
