What is a chromolithograph?

A print in color made from several lithographic stones, one for each color, printed one after another. Salm's views of Java of 1872 are a fine example.

Are the views of Batavia accurate?

The best are. Plans and views by Montanus, Valentijn and Van Krevelt were made from Dutch sources and show the real streets and buildings; later copies simplify them.
