EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Singo Trono - man chewing tobacco, Magelang, Java, 1898" offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Java in the late 19th century. Created by Christian Wilhelm Allers as part of his book "Rund um die Erde" (Round the Earth), this portrait captures the essence of a Javanese man immersed in his daily routine. The subject is depicted wearing traditional attire, including a conical hat that adds an air of authenticity to the scene. His focused expression suggests deep contemplation while he indulges in chewing tobacco—a practice common among locals during that era. The intricate details captured by Allers showcase his keen eye for capturing not only physical features but also cultural nuances. Through this print, we are transported back to a time when Java was still untouched by modernization. It serves as a reminder of how different societies have evolved over time and highlights the importance of preserving such historical artifacts. As we admire Singo Trono's image frozen in time, it becomes evident that art has always been instrumental in documenting history and providing glimpses into distant worlds. This lithograph stands as a testament to Allers' talent as both writer and illustrator and reminds us of our responsibility to cherish and protect our shared heritage for future generations.
