Photographers: Woodbury & Page (active 1857-1908). Views of Java and Batavia. 1860s-1870s. 50 albumen and collodion prints, mounted to card. Each ca. 17,7 x 24 cm or reverse (mounts 27 x 37 cm or reverse). Each annotated in black ink below the image on the mount. Presented in a contemporary half-leather clamshell box with marbled endpapers.

This album presents a structured visual survey of Batavia and its wider colonial environment, encompassing administrative sites such as the Stadthuis, the Paleis van Daendels, and Koningsplein, alongside private residences such as that of Ambrosius van Delden. It extends beyond the capital to Buitenzorg and its Botanical Garden, as well as to the volcanic landscapes of Mount Salak and significant cultural monuments such as Borobudur. These varied sites are situated within the geographic and institutional networks of nineteenth-century Dutch colonial presence in Java.
