Description
Landscape view of a farmer and their flock of goats and banteng, against a background of patchwork fields, shrubs and trees somewhere near Semarang, west Java, Indonesia. Framed by clusters of palms trees. Beyond, houses are visible, and the coastline, with three vessels on the left-hand side as viewed.
Inscribed below: ‘F. Junghuhn del./ Nordkuste bei Samarang [North coast near Semarang]/ Lith. Anst. v. Winckelmann & Söhne in Berlin.’
Plate 1 from Franz Junghuhn’s Landschaften-Atlas zu Java: seine Gestalt, Pflanzendecke und innere Bauart (Leipzig: Arnoldische Buchhandlung, 1853), an atlas of eleven lithographs depicting Javanese landscapes.
