‎Beschrijving van Barabudur. I: Archeologische Beschrijving. Reliefs- en Buddha-Beelden. II: Bouwkundige Beschrijving. Archaeologisch onderzoek in Nederlandsch-Indië: III.‎

‎Krom, N.J. and Theodor van Erp: Beschrijving van Barabudur. I: Archeologische Beschrijving. Reliefs- en Buddha-Beelden. II: Bouwkundige Beschrijving. Martinus Nijhoff, 1920-31. Series: Archaeologisch onderzoek in Nederlandsch-Indië: III. Two text volumes in folio, pp.viii, 791, 2 plates; xv, 486, 82, text figures and plans; three large folio plate volumes with 642 photographic plates, 41 engraved plates (1 double page), and 9 folding plans. Limitation: The first text volume and accompanying plate volumes numbered No.74 of 200; the second text volume and accompanying plate volume numbered No.85 of 200. Only 165 copies were for sale. A monumental archaeological and architectural study of Borobudur with 642 photographic illustrations of the reliefs, including those illustrating the life of the Buddha and scenes from the Jataka, the Ganawyuha, Maitreya, Bodhisattwa and Samantabhadra, and statues of Buddha, together with line drawings showing architectural details of the complex.During the great restoration of Barabudur, 1907-11, under the direction of the military engineer Theodor van Erp, a complete series of more than 2000 photographs of the monument were taken by Jean Jacques de Vink, 1883-1945 and a series of drawings were made by the Javanese artist, Mas Kartodisastro.These form the basis of this comprehensive monograph on the monument produced in two parts with publication spanned a period of twelve years. The first volume, Archaeological Description, by the Director of the Archaeological Survey of Indonesia, Nicolaas Johannes Krom, 1883-1945, consists of two volumes of text and two large portfolios of 440 plates depicting the complete series of reliefs and Buddha images.The second volume, Architectural Description (Bouwkundige Beschrijving) by Theodor van Erp has one volume of text (in Dutch, never translated)) and a large portfolio with 48 detailed ground plans, sections of terraces and elevations of galleries, and 202 photographic plates showing the monument before and after restoration, objects believed to have come from Barabudur, and free standing sculptures.The remarkable remains of Borobudur were re-discovered in 1814, by H.C. Cornelius, a Dutch engineer, who had been sent to investigate by Thomas Stamford Raffles, British Governor of Java. Cornelius with his 200 men cut down trees, burned down vegetation and dug away earth to reveal the long-hidden monument. He was unable to unearth all galleries for danger of collapse.The first attempt to record the splendour of the monument was in 1848 when F.C. Wilsen began four years work drawing copies of 988 reliefs. These were published by Leemans in 1873 in two large portfolios, but were considered to be neither artistic nor suitable for scientific study. A second attempt was begun in 1863 when von Kinsbergen was commissioned to photograph Borobudur, but he was unable to complete the task, partly due to the difficulty of setting up his camera sufficiently far from the reliefs in the confined space of the galleries.This third attempt was undertaken during the extensive restoration of the monument between 1907 and 1911, under the supervision of Theodor van Erp, who dismantled and rebuilt the upper three circular platforms and stupas.Borobudur was listed as a World Heritage Site in 1991, 'to represent a masterpiece of human creative genius'.‎

Highlights will include a sketchbook in which a young Rubens has copied Holbein's Dance of Death woodcuts, intricate pen and ink drawings by Pieter Bruegel, miniatures by Joris Hoefnagel, portrait studies by Anthony van Dyck, and a rare survival of a friendship album containing numerous drawings and poems dedicated to its owner. Two recently discovered sheets by Rubens will also be included, a design for a book-illustration on optics and an anatomical study of three legs.‎
