Original title in Dutch: "De baai Srigonjo aan de zuidkust van Java"
One of a serie of twenty-four chromolithographs, finished by hand, mounted on later (acid-free) card with original small printed title label. After Abraham Salm (1801-1876)
It comes from the set of 24 very rare chromolithographs and was published by J.C. Grieve Jr. and edited by Frans Buffa & Zonen between 1865 and 1872. It is one of the most stunning of Buffa’s publications. The titel of the original complete set is “Java naar schilderijen en tekeningen van A. Salm”
The paintings and drawings by Abraham Salm are regarded as the finest depictions of the Javanese topography and culture. Abraham Salm established himself first as a merchant in Surabaya but afterwards became the owner of a tobacco plantation in Malang. He was a self-taught artist and spent twenty-nine years in Indonesia.
