EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph captures a street scene in Tasikmalaya, Java, back in 1898. Created by Christian Wilhelm Allers for his book "Rund um die Erde" (Round the Earth), this print showcases the beauty of this Indonesian village during that era. The image reveals a tropical landscape adorned with palm trees and traditional thatched buildings. In the foreground, we see women going about their daily activities, adding life to the scene. Their presence adds a sense of vibrancy and cultural richness to the composition. The architecture reflects the Javanese style prevalent at that time, with its distinct roofs made from thatch. Allers' attention to detail is evident in every stroke of this artwork. He masterfully captures not only the physical elements but also conveys a sense of tranquility and harmony within this small town setting. The print's monochromatic nature enhances its timeless appeal, transporting viewers back to an era long gone yet still preserved through art. It serves as a testament to Allers' talent as both writer and illustrator. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded of how art can transcend time and space, allowing us glimpses into different cultures and eras. This print truly encapsulates the essence of Tasikmalaya in 1898 while inviting us to appreciate its natural beauty and architectural heritage even today.
