EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Distinguished Javanese Mantri in Traditional Attire This handcoloured copperplate engraving depicts a noble Javanese man of the upper classes, known as a mantri, dressed in the elegant and intricate clothing of his culture. The mantri wears a silk sabook girdle, which is tied around his waist and adorned with intricate patterns. The girdle is complemented by a wide djarit sarong, which falls gracefully over his legs, and a sikapan vest, which is fastened at the front with intricate gold buttons. The mantri carries a kris, a traditional Javanese dagger, in his girdle. The kris is an essential symbol of power and status in Javanese society, and its presence signifies the mantri's high rank and authority. The man's regal demeanor and the ornate details of his attire reflect the rich cultural heritage and artistic traditions of Java, an island in Indonesia. This engraving is based on a painting by William Daniell, which was published in Frederic Shoberl's "The World in Miniature: The Asiatic Islands and New Holland," published in London in 1824. The meticulous handcolouring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a stunning representation of Javanese aristocratic attire during the early 19th century. The engraving offers a glimpse into the past, providing a valuable record of Javanese history and culture.
